The world’s football governing body, FIFA has rejected South Africa’s protests for a replay of their last round World Cup qualification game against the Black Stars that enabled Ghana to secure a place in the playoffs after a slim win at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
The Federation of International Football dealt South African the damaging blow on Friday when its disciplinary body ruled that the protest lodged is ‘inadmissible’ as it did not meet the basic requirements for filing protests.
“The protest lodged by South Africa has been declared inadmissible by the Disciplinary Committee as it did not meet the requirements foreseen under art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
“The decision is subject to appeal.”
