Ecuador could now be excluded from the final round of the 2022 World Cup.
After a complaint from the Football Federation of Chile, the organization decided to investigate the situation with the registration of the player of the Ecuadorian team Byron Castillo, according to the official website of FIFA..
Castillo was allegedly born in the Colombian city of Tumaco, July 25, 1995, and not November 10, 1998, in the Ecuadorian General Williamil, and the Chilean side provided evidence of this.
The statement refers to a report released by the National Registry Office in Ecuador, alleging inconsistencies in the footballer's birth certificate.. Also, this document was not in the management database.
Castillo participated in 8 matches of the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup. If a player is disqualified and his team suffers technical defeats, then Ecuador will lose the right to play in the final part of the World Cup in Qatar. Ecuador finished fourth in the American selection.
But the Chileans will benefit from the disqualification of Ecuador, because the Chilean national team will be able to play at the 2022 World Cup instead of them.
Recall that the company Electronic Arts announced the termination of cooperation with FIFA on the creation of the popular football eSports game of the same name..
