Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) secretary general Mokhosi Mohapi confirmed a formal enquiry with FIFA and CAF over Bafana Bafana's fielding of the seemingly ineligible Teboho Mokoena, but was it too late?

It's been a compelling and chaotic week of international football across Africa, with the World Cup qualifying campaign hotting up, headlined by South Africa fielding an ineligible player against Lesotho.

Nigeria went from reviving their 2026 World Cup qualification hopes to undoing a lot of the hard work with their draw against Zimbabwe.
