FATF President Elisa de Anda Madrazo called the delisting “a positive story for the continent of Africa,” noting that each country demonstrated substantial reforms. According to the FATF, South […]

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.
