Nigeria has expressed dissatisfaction with Zimbabwe and Lesotho playing their World Cup Qualifier matches in South Africa, arguing that it gives Bafana Bafana an unfair advantage.

Both Zimbabwe and Lesotho currently lack CAF-approved stadiums, prompting them to use South Africa as a base for their home fixtures.

“This is against fair play as it gives South Africa an undue advantage in qualifying for the World Cup,” a senior official told SCORENigeria.

In response, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is calling for the relocation of upcoming home games for Lesotho and Zimbabwe against South Africa. “The NFF are therefore asking that the forthcoming home games of Lesotho and Zimbabwe against South Africa be moved out of South Africa,” the official added.
