The Sports Arbitration Court ruled on Tuesday that Peron Castio, who has claimed Chile because he was ineligible to play during the qualifiers, is regarded as an Ecuadorian citizen, and as a result, Ecuador will play at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar this month.
The Sports Court, however, decided that Ecuador should receive three points to start the next round of World Cup qualifying and assessed a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs for “the use of a document that contains false information.”
The highest sports court in the world added that the decision was based on the fact that the Ecuadorian authorities submitted that Castio hold her nationality because “the nationality of any player defending the colours of a national federation is determined by local laws, which are governed by time restrictions in the event of changing sports citizenship, which was not the case here.”
When the World Cup finals begin on November 20, the Ecuador lottery in the first group, along with Qatar, Senegal, and the Netherlands, is slated to play against the team coming from South America, the host nation. Last September, the International Federation “FIFA” rejected a stabbed by Chile, who initially complained that Castio was born in Tomako, Colombia in 1995 and not in General Pamalem Plasias in 1998 as stated in his official documents.
The Ecuadorian Football Association, however, was found to have violated Article 21 of the FIFA rules by using a document that contained false information, according to the Sports Court. She added: While the passport of the Ecuadorian player was already original, some of the information contained in it was wrong, as the court in particular confirmed that the date and place of the player was incorrect because he was already born in Tomako, Colombia on June 25, 1995.
And I went after: The judge observed it Even though the Ecuadorian Union was not the entity that issued the forged document but rather only used it, the Ecuadorian Union must take responsibility for this error that amounts to forgery. Ecuador has consistently refuted claims that the athlete is unqualified.
The Ecuadorian Union claimed that Castio was selected using the proper criteria and that it is currently studying the next course of action because it disagrees with the sanction imposed by the Sports Court. During the World Cup qualifying matches, Castio participated in eight games for Ecuador. He engaged in two games with Chile. While Chile did not make the World Cup after placing seventh, Ecuador, who placed fourth, did.
The Sports Arbitration Court stated the following regarding the three points that were taken away from Ecuador in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers: The committee determined that the three points would be taken away because the player was qualified to compete in the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Ecuador’s World Cup participation is demonstrated by “Cass.”
