FIFA ruled that midfielder Teboho Mokoena was ineligible due to accumulated yellow cards in the match played on March 21, 2025. As a result, the match has been forfeited, with Lesotho awarded a 3-0 victory. SAFA was also fined CHF 10 000 ($11 200), while Mokoena received a formal warning.
SAFA said it has requested written reasons for the decision and intends to lodge a formal appeal with the FIFA Appeals Committee within the 10-day period allowed under disciplinary regulations.
