Rohr Urges FIFA Action on South Africa's Ineligible Player in 2026 WCQ

Benin Republic coach Gernot Rohr has urged FIFA to deduct South Africa's points for fielding an ineligible player in the 2026 World Cup qualifier. The player, Mokoena, played despite being suspended after receiving a yellow card in a previous match.

Rohr expressed his expectation for FIFA to take action due to the lack of clarity in the points log table. South Africa currently leads the standings with 13 points, ahead of Rwanda by five points and Benin by six points.

Nigeria is set to host a crucial match against South Africa next Tuesday. The potential point deduction could impact the qualification chances of the teams involved.
