2026 WCQ: Boost for Super Eagles as FIFA deducts 3 points from South Africa
FIFA has officially deducted three points from South Africa in the ongoing 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The world football governing body confirmed this on Monday.
It is punishment for Bafana Bafana fielding Teboho Mokoena, who was ineligible to face Lesotho in March.
South Africa have also seen three goals deducted from their tally by FIFA.
This represents a significant boost for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, who still harbour hopes of playing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
