It seems that Ecuador may not participate in the World Cup. According to the Daily Mail, there are quite compromising documents, which again call into question the possibility of being excluded from the World Cup.

In the audio document, allegedly collected in the interview made in 2018, the player can be heard clearly saying that he was born in 1995 and not in 1998 as appears on his Ecuadorian birth certificate, giving his name as Bayron Javier Castillo Segura and not Byron David Castillo Segura.

FIFA has already conducted an enquiry on this and has ruled that Byron Castillo is an Ecuadorian citizen. And as far as I know, whether he was born in Colombia or Ecuador should not matter, in case his Ecuadorian nationality is unchallenged. Naturalized citizens are allowed to participate in the FIFA world cup. I know that Chile football association is trying hard to get Ecuador disqualified. They should be ashamed of themselves. First they can't secure a qualification spot from the CONMEBOL. And now they are trying to get one of the qualified teams suspended.

I read about this issue and I wonder if this decision by FIFA will allow for Ukraine, or Italy to make a comeback for the World Cup because I’m sure that FIFA would like to replace them. Furthermore I understand it’s a complicated situation, but I would really like to see Italy back because it’ll make the World Cup more interesting to watch.
