FIFA went to a non-standard deadline, involving low disciplinary sanctions, lifted by the graves during the hour of qualification for the world championship. Finally, the Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi and the Ecuadorian wrestler Moises Caicedo will not face their punishment at the World Cup and will be able to help the national team in the first matches.
The decision on amnesty was praised on Friday by the FIFA Bureau, which includes the organization's president Gianni Infantino and members of the six continental confederations. The contract is subject to all sanctions, in addition to the most serious violations.
" not be transferred to the final tournament,” reads the official FIFA statement.
The organization said that its main goal is to ensure that teams “can compete with the strongest resources in the largest arena of international football.
Nicolas Otamendi (Argentina) and Moises Caicedo (Ecuador) were eliminated from the spring qualifying match, which ended with a 1:0 win over Ecuador. Otamendi then tore off a straight red card for a foul against an attacker who beat the goalkeeper one on one, and Caicedo to his friend for a brutal tackle. These mandatory one-match disqualifications have now been transferred to other official matters that will take place after the end of the World Cup.
Tarek Salman, the head of the Qatar national team, will also miss two games after training in the previous match against the UAE. A permanent amnesty was granted to him, who refused to allow him to play in his team's opening match against Switzerland on the 13th of June at the San Francisco Stadium..
The solution is a logical continuation of FIFA's ongoing leadership in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo. The brilliant Portuguese suffered from missing matches in the World Championship, receiving a red card for hitting the Irish champion in the qualifying match.. Then FIFA imposed two games with a three-match disqualification, recognizing the gravity of the river trial term..
The world's champions, the Argentine national team, will defend their title with a match against Algeria on the 16th of June at Kansas City. For the 38-year-old Otamendi, which immediately protects the colors of Benfica and won without replacement all the matches of the triumphant tournament in Qatar (2022), this world championship will become the fourth one,.
Ecuador is teamed up with the 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo, who also took part in the Qatari World Cup and starts the match against Cote d'Ivoire on the 14th in Philadelphia.
