The current political conflict in Central African Republic could see Bafana Bafana’s 2014 World Cup qualifier shifted to Cameroon.
KickOff.com has learnt that the west African country has been earmarked as the most suitable neutral venue for Bafana’s away match against Les Fauves on June 7.
The unrest in CAR has escalated, with rebels seizing control of Bangui last week, forcing their president Francois Bozize to flee into the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thirteen South African Defence Force troops were also killed just outside the CAR capital.
SAFA are waiting on further clarification from FIFA, who are monitoring the situation in CAR before making further recommendations. Cameroon is seen as a win-win situation for both teams should the match need to be moved.
Bafana got their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track by beating CAR 2-0 at Cape Town Stadium on March 23.
