The hopes of some teams that were not lucky enough to qualify for the 2022 World Cup were revived after news spread that Ecuador could be excluded from the tournament due to cheating by one of its players.

New evidence has been presented to the International Football Association (FIFA) Appeals Committee accusing the Ecuadorian national team of falsifying the citizenship of its player Perón Castro, an audio recording of an interview Castro gave to representatives of the Ecuadorian federation several years ago, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail.

3 teams are waiting for the final decision of the International Federation and hope that they will take the decision to participate instead of Ecuador in the global event.

Italy tops the list as one of the best teams to achieve results in the World Cup, followed by Chile, especially since its local federation raised the issue after filing a complaint with FIFA against its Ecuadorian counterpart a few months ago, alleging that Castillo’s citizenship was falsified. , and he did not qualify for Ecuador in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

There are also those who believe that the Peruvian team deserves to qualify instead of Ecuador, especially since they finished in fifth place and were eliminated from the continental play-off qualification, losing to Australia.

The draw for the 2022 World Cup places Ecuador in Group A along with Qatar, the Netherlands and Senegal.
