South Africa may lose three points for fielding Teboho Mokoena, who is ineligible, against Lesotho in March. South Africa is presently leading the World Cup qualifying Group C, which also includes Nigeria, the Benin Republic, Rwanda, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe.

To remain in the running for an automatic berth, the Super Eagles must win today’s match. Aiyegbeni, who has scored 21 goals in 58 games for Nigeria, believes they must begin taking control of their own fate in the game.

“We aren’t relying on the idea that we will win this, lose this, or draw this. “No, we should disregard the three points,” Aiyegbeni said on the SoccerBeatz podcast in South Africa.
“What occurred has happened, and if FIFA chooses to overlook it, it’s okay if they take away the three points. In my opinion, we ought to concentrate more on how to play the next three games and then win them.

However, we’ll see how things work out; ideally, we can finish the task today or Tuesday and wait for the following two. However, it won’t be simple.

FIFA and CAF have also said nothing about the points deduction problem.

With 16 points from seven games, South Africa leads the group, followed by the Benin Republic with 11 points and the Eagles in third place with 10.

The top team in the group will automatically qualify for the tournament, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, along with eight other African nations that win their respective groups.
