The standard punishment for fielding an ineligible player is that a guilty team surrenders any points they gained from the match the suspended player featured and their opponents are awarded a 3-0 victory – in this case to Botswana. If Ethiopia are docked three points as expected, those would be awarded to Botswana. Ethiopia would then have 10 points, Bafana 8, Botswana 7 and Central African Republic 3 with the last round of matches to be played in September.
