Ecuador will play at the 2022 World Cup after FIFA dismissed an appeal in the case of Ecuadorean player Byron Castillo whom Chile claimed was ineligible for the qualifiers, world soccer's governing body said on Friday.
Chile had appealed FIFA's June 10 decision to dismiss their complaint that Castillo was born in Tumaco, Colombia in 1995 and not in the Ecuadorean city of General Villamil Playas in 1998, as stated on his official documents.
The Chilean Football Federation confirmed it would appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport . "The weight of evidence is clear and we urge the Appeal Committee to deliver the grounds of the decision very quickly because there were enough unjustifiable delays and postponements in this case."The Chilean Football Federation's lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo said they had a "huge number of documents" that proved "without any reasonable doubt that the player was born in Colombia"."Sad day for football and for fair play. The message is clear: cheating is allowed.
Castillo played in eight of Ecuador's 18 qualifying games for the World Cup. Ecuador have denied that the player was ineligible.
