World football governing body FIFA has quashed the protest lodged by South Africa following their defeat to Ghana in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Black Stars of Ghana.
The protest 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.
Meanwhile, SAFA says it will consider its options after FIFA dismissed its protest.
SAFA CEO, Advocate Tebogo Monthlante said once SAFA gets reasons for the outcome, will sit down and weigh its options.
“We have received the decision without details and we will request FIFA for the reasons and consider our options.”
