FIFA Disciplinary Committee dismiss the charges on Ecuador by Chilean FA.

The Chilean Football Federation filed a complaint against an ineligible player in the qualifiers played for Ecuador side.

The Federation claims that they have proof that Ecuador’s Byron 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.

In the FIFA qualifying match Chile with its 19 points finished in the seventh position. After the match the Chilean Football Federation claimed that if Chile were given the points from the two games against Ecuador in which Castillo played they would have gone to the World Cup in their place.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee said “After analyzing the submissions of all parties concerned and considering all elements brought before it, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to close the proceedings initiated against the FEF (Ecuadorean Football Association).”

Dismissing the inappropriate claim of Chilean Football Federation, The FIFA Disciplinary Committee announced that Ecuador will play at the 2022 World Cup.
