Gernot Rohr and Benin Republic Pressure CAF and FIFA Over South Africa's Points Deduction

Nigerian football coach Gernot Rohr and Benin Republic pressure CAF and FIFA over South Africa's 3 points deduction in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Benin's victory against Lesotho moved them to second place in Group C, just three points behind South Africa.

Rohr's team now has a chance to secure an automatic ticket to the World Cup or qualify for the playoffs. CAF congratulated Benin on their victory but called for a fair review of the incident.

The match has sparked divided opinions among fans, with Beninese celebrating and South Africans making fun of the situation. The focus now shifts to the upcoming matches, with Benin facing Zimbabwe and South Africa playing against Rwanda in October.
