It's a controversy that could shake up the World Cup qualifiers. The Lesotho Football Association (LFA) has formally requested FIFA to investigate whether Bafana Bafana fielded an ineligible player in their recent qualifier against Lesotho. The association contends that Bafana Bafana midfielder, Tebogo Mokoena, received yellow cards in two separate matches against Benin in November 2023 and Zimbabwe in June 2024, meaning he should have been suspended for the match against Lesotho last Friday. They argue this breaches FIFA Rule 63. The association has written to FIFA for clarification and potential consequences.
