2026 WCQ: Rohr Queries FIFA, CAF Over Delay In South Africa’s Points Deduction

Gernot Rohr, head coach of the Benin Republic national football team, has questioned FIFA and CAF over the delay in enforcing a potential three-point deduction against South Africa that could affect Group C standings.

Rohr, a former Super Eagles technical adviser, has called for decisive action against South Africa for fielding an ineligible player, Teboho Mokoena, in their 2-0 World Cup qualifier win over Lesotho in March.

FIFA and CAF have yet to issue an official ruling, leaving other Group C teams, including Nigeria, Benin Republic and Rwanda, uncertain about their World Cup qualification prospects.

Speaking after Benin’s recent 1-0 victory over Zimbabwe, Rohr was quoted by Mega Sports as saying: “South Africa won against Lesotho? Okay, but the match that matters is the first leg, where they have to lose the three points.

“It is very clear. The rules are very, very clear. We don’t know why FIFA and CAF haven’t yet decided to take the points away from them.

“It is not normal. We don’t know where we stand. We have 11 points after this match today.

“South Africa has to lose three points and then we will be only two points behind our opponent. What are they waiting for? I don’t know. It is incomprehensible.
