Lesotho Warns FIFA Over South Africa's World Cup Qualifier Issue
Lesotho's Football Association Secretary General, Mokhosi Mohapi, has warned FIFA about the consequences of not sanctioning South Africa for fielding an ineligible player in a World Cup Qualifier match. Mohapi emphasized that failure to take action could lead to South Africa forfeiting points and goals in the campaign.
Lesotho has raised concerns over the situation and plans to appeal any decision made by FIFA. The incident involves Bafana Bafana player Teboho Mokoena, who received a yellow card in a previous match despite being suspended.
The Football Association is urging FIFA to uphold fair play and integrity in the qualification process.
