According to TV Azteca channel, FIFA would have decided that Ecuador would be left behind in the 2022 Qatar World Cup and that his place was for Chile. The reason would have been confirmed that Ecuadorian international Byron Castillo forged his birth documents and was actually Colombian. Chile, which finished 6th in the South American league and therefore did not qualify for Qatar 2022, will enter the World Cup.
Always according to said medium, FIFA will announce its official decision in a few days, but at the moment what his statement will say has been leaked, because, after the evidence presented to the highest body in the world of soccer, the elimination of Ecuador seems imminent. Byron Castillo, a 23 -year -old winger, plays for Barcelona de Guayaquil.
Eduardo Carlezzo, the lawyer representing Chile in this case before FIFA, revealed at a press conference that after the its investigation determined that Byron Castillo’s birth certificate was incorrectbecause he was not born in Ecuador as he claimed, but in Tumaco (Colombia).
In Italy they thought of something very likely: that the ‘azzurra’ team would be classified if a rule was applied that the team with the best position in the ranking and not classified would be the one to occupy the place .
Ecuador was included in group A of the first round of the World Cup, along with Qatar, the Netherlands and Senegal.
