Former NFF President Supports FIFA's Decision on South Africa's Points Deduction Case

The former NFF President defended FIFA's decision not to deduct South Africa's 3 points in an ongoing case involving the fielding of an ineligible player. South Africa's Mokoena received a yellow card in the 52nd minute against Zimbabwe and the 54th minute against Benin Republic, leading to controversy.

The ex-president argued that FIFA acted correctly within the rules, citing a similar incident where Nigeria was penalized for fielding an ineligible player. The case highlighted the importance of following FIFA regulations to avoid sanctions.
