2026 WCQ: Tension In Nigeria’s Group As Lesotho Threatens Protest Against South Africa

There is currently tension in Group C of the Africa qualifying zone for the 2026 World Cup, after Lesotho threatened to protest against South Africa.

This was revealed by Mokhosi Mohapi, the Secretary-General of the Lesotho Football Association, LFA.

Mohapi has warned South Africa not to include Teboho Mokoena in their squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifier on Friday.

The Match Day 7 fixture is billed for the Free State Stadium.

Mokoena has been the subject of controversy since South Africa’s 2-0 win over the football minnows earlier this year.

The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder picked up two yellow cards, making him ineligible to play in the match against Lesotho; however, he still featured.

As per FIFA rules, South Africa should have gotten a three-point deduction, if the opposing team submits a protest within 24 hours of the match’s conclusion.

“If South Africa dare play Teboho Mokoena, we will lodge a protest and will tell you why,” Mohapi said on Soccer Beat.

“We will lodge a protest which goes back to the other match, because he has never served the suspension that he was meant to have served.

“Against Bafana, we are going to wait three minutes into the match and then protest.”
