Ecuador could be excluded from this year’s Qatar 2022 World Cup, as it is suspected that their defender Byron Castillo forged his birth documents and is in fact Colombian, which means he should not have been present in the qualifiers of this competition.
The Federation of Ecuador has been investigated by FIFA following allegations made by Chile, which finished seventh in the South American qualifiers and lost the opportunity to participate in Qatar, while Ecuador finished in fourth place.
Chile claimed they had evidence that Castillo was born in Tumaco, Colombia in 1995, and not in Guayaquil, according to his official documents. Chile claimed that the Barcelona defender used a fake passport and birth certificate.
Mundo Deportivo reports that the FIFA investigation has been completed and the decision to exclude Ecuador from Qatar 2022 has been taken and will be made public in the coming days. Northern Macedonia was eliminated in the play-offs. This could be possible if FIFA gives the place of Ecuador to the team with the best position in their world ranking./SuperSport
