FIFA opens case against South Africa over ineligible player

FIFA has officially opened disciplinary proceedings against the South African Football Association (SAFA) for fielding Teboho Mokoena, an ineligible player, during a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in March. According to South African outlet SABC Sport, FIFA confirmed in a letter dated September 15, 2025, that both Mokoena and SAFA face charges of breaching disciplinary regulations, including the fielding of an ineligible player. The case has been referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, with SAFA and the player given six days to submit their defence.

President Ramaphosa Meets Trump at White House Amid Tensions Over Refugee Policy and Trade

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House today, aiming to mend strained relations between the two nations. The meeting comes amid escalating tensions over U.S. refugee policies favoring white South Africans and trade disputes affecting bilateral economic ties. Diplomatic Strains and Refugee Controversy The relationship between South Africa and the United States has been under pressure since the Trump administration's decision to grant refugee status to a group of white South African farmers, citing alleged persecution. President Trump has claimed that white Afrikaner farmers are victims of "genocide," a characterization strongly disputed by the South African government, which attributes farm attacks to broader crime issues rather than racially motivated violence. In response to these developments, South Africa's ambassador to the U.S., Ebrahim Rasool, was expelled earlier this year after criticizing the Trump […]
