Safa waiting on FIFA's Ethiopia decision
The world governing body will investigate the Ethiopian FA for allegedly fielding an ineligible player during a World Cup qualifying match.
In their match against Botswana last week, they allegedly fielded a player who should have sat out with suspension.
On Sunday Ethiopia beat Bafana Bafana 2-1 to end their chances of going to Brazil, but this development could see them back in with a chance.
Nematandani said they'll keep a close eye on proceedings.
“We’ll wait until they finalise the process and if the result is us still being in the race and if it’s not positive then we’ve played the game.”
FIFA also opened disciplinary proceedings against Togo and Equatorial Guinea.
There are a number of options open to Bafana and it’s possible they could be docked the 3 points.
If that were to happen it would leave Ethiopia on 10 points in Group A, Bafana on 8 with one round of fixtures remaining.
