Imposters, Ecuadorian Branch: All the Questions and Answers Around the Farce in South American Football | Israel today

 Is there really a chance that Ecuador will be relegated from the World Cup because it violated player registration rules?

If he is indeed dismissed, who will be the team to take her place?

What exactly happened?

What are the chances?

When will a final answer be received?

The story of Byron Castiglio, a player for the Ecuadorian national team, raises a lot of questions, so here is an attempt to put some order in the affair that has been stirring South America in recent days.

how it all began?

A few weeks ago, lawyers from the Chilean Association contacted FIFA, claiming that Byron Castiglio, a player from the Ecuadorian team who took part in eight World Cup qualifiers, was not a native of Ecuador but a native of Colombia. The actor is incorrect, as is his date of birth: Chile showed that he was born on July 25, 1998 in Colombia, while in Ecuador's documents he was born on November 10 of that year. They are led by an official birth certificate proving that Castiglio was born in Colombia and documentary checks in which he failed when he tried to move to Amalek. In conclusion, he said: "If Ecuador plays in the World Cup it will be a huge stain."

How does Ecuador respond to these claims?

Four days ago they sounded very calm.

"We know we did everything right and properly and we won on the pitch" coach Gustavo Alpro said, adding;

"Justice is with us."

Alpro even summoned Kastijo to the final warm-up games last week in which he partnered in the second half with a 0-1 win over Nigeria.

In the last day, after the unveiling of the new documents, there is real concern in Ecuador.

What's Kastijo's reaction?

was not accepted.

At the same time, the actor's environment is said to have severely harmed him mentally.

So much so that about two weeks ago, in a league game of his team Barcelona (Ecuador), he burst into tears after tripping an opposing player in the box and asking his coach to change.

"I'm worried about the damage this story is doing to him, but I'm sure justice will be published soon," Alpro said.

It is important to note that there is no doubt that Castiglio's parents are Colombians who fled the country to start a better life in Ecuador.

Officially, Castiglio was born in Plaza, a very small town in Ecuador that is 100 kilometers from the large coastal city of Guaquil, but according to local journalists it is a small, poor and not bureaucratically arranged place.

Throughout his career the player has suffered from registration issues in teams and young teams, but this has never come up for public discussion as it does now.

Was Byron Castillo born in Colombia?

What does FIFA say?

Meanwhile, nothing.

Any report regarding this case is still a rumor and an official announcement will only come out on Friday 10.6.

Will Ecuador be punished?

If you find fault with forgery of documents and illegal participation of an actor, surely.

There is a possibility that he will be eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers in 2026, there is an option of a fine and there is the most likely option: a relegation from the World Cup in Qatar.

Suppose FIFA does oust Ecuador from the World Cup following the Castiglio case, who will take its place?

There have been rumors that it will be Italy, the most senior team in the FIFA rankings that has not qualified, but it will not happen.

The Chileans are sure they should get the ticket because Castiglio played in the two meetings between Ecuador and Chile, in which Chile lost 4 points.

Therefore, taking down to Ecuador the points it scored with Castiglio and giving them to rival teams, Chile climbs to fourth place and wins a direct ticket.

Another option is that Ecuador is completely disqualified, and then all the teams below it are simply taken one step further.

In that case Peru automatically advances to the World Cup while Colombia will add its place in the playoffs against Australia on Monday.

(By the way, the fact that Colombia was quick to appoint a new coach may indicate that she believes in her chances of playing in this game)

Answers, as stated, on Friday.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
