The pur fell.
According to world media reports tonight (Wednesday), FIFA has decided to finally oust Ecuador from the Qatar World Cup in 2022, following the scandal involving its player, Byron Castiglio.
The story began several months ago, when it was revealed in Chile that the Ecuadorian team shared Castillo, who according to the records in its possession - is generally Colombian.
A lawyer representing Chile today presented the prosecution file, which allegedly proves that Castiglio was indeed born in Colombia and is not allowed to represent Ecuador.
He further claims that the actor, born in the city of Plias in Colombia on November 10, 1998, passed on false information, and in addition to his Ecuadorian identity card there are no fingerprints, as every citizen in the country should have.
