South Africa Faces FIFA Probe Over Ineligible Player: World Cup Dreams at Risk

South African football stakeholders, including pundit Peter du Toit, are anxious over a possible 3-point forfeiture in the World Cup qualifier for fielding an ineligible player against Lesotho. Despite no complaint from Lesotho, FIFA may sanction Bafana Bafana.

If forfeited, South Africa would drop to 14 points, affecting their lead in the group. Gernot Rohr's Nigeria could benefit.

Concerns grow as FIFA investigates, with critics like Peter du Toit and Thomas Kwenaite questioning SAFA's handling of the situation. The outcome could impact South Africa's World Cup dreams significantly.
