FIFA has docked South Africa three points and overturned the results of its World Cup Qualifier in March against Lesotho.
The decision was announced by the governing body in a media release on Monday.
In their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on 21 March, Bafana Bafana fielded Teboho Mokoena, who should have been serving a one-match suspension for yellow cards accumulated.
