South Africa Faces FIFA Probe Over Player Eligibility - World Cup Qualification at Risk

South Africa faces potential 3-point deduction in FIFA World Cup qualifiers due to player eligibility concerns involving Teboho Mokoena. Despite the pressure, the South African Football Association (SAFA) remains focused on securing their World Cup ticket.

SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao confirmed FIFA's investigation but emphasized the team's determination to finish the job. If the deduction occurs, it could drop Bafana Bafana from the top of Group C to a precarious position.

The fate of the team still hangs in the balance as they aim to earn maximum points in the remaining matches to secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup.
