Lesotho Threatens Protest Over Mokoena's World Cup Qualifier Eligibility
The Lesotho Football Association has threatened to protest Teboho Mokoena's eligibility in the upcoming World Cup qualifier against South Africa. Mokhosi Mohapi, representing Lesotho, raised concerns over Mokoena's inclusion in South Africa's squad due to a previous eligibility issue.
Mokoena had received two yellow cards earlier in the year, rendering him ineligible for matches. Lesotho warns South Africa against fielding Mokoena, indicating they will lodge a protest if he plays.
The situation adds a layer of controversy to the upcoming Group C encounter, with FIFA yet to comment on the matter, leaving the eligibility of Mokoena in question.
