South Africa Escapes FIFA Sanctions for Ineligible Player in World Cup Qualifiers

Despite using an ineligible player, Teboho Mokoena, in recent World Cup qualifiers, South Africa has not faced FIFA sanctions. Mokoena received two yellow cards but still played, leading to controversy.

Critics argue that South Africa should forfeit points, affecting their standing in Group C. Nigeria and Benin have lodged protests.

The situation highlights FIFA's regulations and the potential impact on the qualifying race. South Africa's untouched status in the sanctions list contrasts with other countries facing fines and suspensions for rule breaches.
