FIFA Delay on South Africa Sanctions Sparks World Cup Qualification Concerns!

Former FIFA Disciplinary Committee member, Raymond Hack, explains why South Africa may not face sanctions despite fielding an ineligible player. The delay in sanctioning South Africa for six months after playing Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho has caused uncertainty in the CAF qualification group C.
