The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has launched disciplinary proceedings against the South African Football Association (SAFA) for fielding an ineligible player in their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho.
The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder had accumulated two yellow cards earlier in the qualifiers against Benin Republic, and Zimbabwe, which triggered a one-match ban.
According to SABC, FIFA confirmed that SAFA, and Mokoena faces charges of breaching several disciplinary regulations.
The case has been referred to the FIFA disciplinary committee.
If found guilty, South Africa could be forced to forfeit the result of the match, which would hand Lesotho a 3-0 victory.
