Why haven’t any top journalist reported this?

I already took the case to a football journalist who has promised to look into it. However, I think the issue should be given more attention. Most of our people are waiting for who will bell the cat. If we don't act within this FIFA window and the next one month, the issue will be swept under the carpet.

[Dammy]

Abeg make we win our match today first. I wouldn’t raise my hopes as the CAF President is from South Africa, and I remember how the case of Guinea fielding ineligible players in the Olympics football qualifier ended.

I think we should follow due process and ensure whoever raise the issue has jurisdiction to raise it. So, it's not thrown out.

This is gaining steam. Pokey will be a legend if points are deducted.

Even if it fails, if it is legitimate, it might be a useful psychological blanket over their heads. I think we should emphasise it and populate it, if it is legitimate.

Thank you Bigpokey, I've also forwarded to the NFF. Let's hope they act fast.

19. Fielding ineligible player

1. If a player fielded in a match and/or competition is declared ineligible, the FIFA judicial bodies, taking into consideration the integrity of the competition concerned, may impose any appropriate disciplinary measures.

2. If a player fielded in a match is declared ineligible following a protest, the team to which the player belongs will be sanctioned by forfeiting the match and paying a minimum fine of CHF 6,000. The player may also be sanctioned.

3. The Disciplinary Committee may act ex officio.

Tried getting Ademola Olajire but his number was unavailable. Sent him a message instead.

Then spoke with and sent the posts and links to an NFF Board Member. He called back to say the TM said they have received the info yesterday and have put the relevant Departments to do all the needful.

A protest is supposed to be lodged.

Who should lodge the protest: anyone in the group or Lesotho?

The Super Eagles’ hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup could receive a significant boost if FIFA decides to hammer the Bafana Bafana of South Africa with a sanction.

Boost for Nigeria as South Africa face points deduction

Nigeria currently face an uphill task of qualifying for the biggest showpiece on earth as they are four points behind leaders, South Africa, in their group with just five games left to play as of the time of writing this report.

This is usually a rare occurrence, so let's just have some controlled and little expectations. It takes an extremely negligent FAs to goof on matters like this.

Even FIFA usually gives heads-up to affected countries ahead of the next match. Remember, we lost 3 points to Algeria in the 2018 WCQs. Was just that we had enough points to absorb what could have been a catastrophic shock.

FIFA had sent an email to NFF, warning them that Shehu Abdullahi shouldn't be available for the Algeria match but NFF's excuse then was that the guy in chatge of the email handle had cardiac issues and I think he passed away eventually. But the question then was why should just one person be the sole custodian of a line of communication? Checking who's suspended should be top of to-do list ahead of key games. No one needs to tell an FA such things.

So, I'm just holding my breath on this.

Not a CAF decision but FIFA's and I doubt if FIFA anymore using corruption and FIFA in the same sentence.

Lesotho deserves their 3 points, oh boy make i go check Lesotho no use suspended player sef

for those who are double minded about this, regardless of the outcome, it will also ensure the NFF confirm we aren't breaking the rules as well

Ademola Olajire says NFF is already looking into it.

Meanwhile, I'm guessing one thing we need to look out for today if Teboho Mokoena plays or not, especially if he doesn't play. Then, probably something is amiss and South Africa, if they are aware a protest is in the offing, may likely be guilty.

So, it's likely they are aware and want to bolt the door after the horse left the barn.

Who drops one of his best players in a key game? There must be another reason.

South Africa coach Hugo Broos has come under scrutiny from their fans after the former Cameroon head coach suggested resting some of Bafana’s players against the Benin Republic on Tuesday.

Midfielder Teboho Mokoena has been a key player for Bafana Bafana across all competitions. However, coach Broos hinted he might rest him on Tuesday in Group C’s World Cup qualifier against Benin.
