Today the hearing is supposed to happen, that is, when people explain everything and questions are asked.

I'm not sure when the official answer will be given. That could be today or in a few days.

I don't think there's any chance that Italy or any other external team would qualify. The only possible outcome is for the matches played by Ecuador to be forfeited. In that case, Chile would classify.

As far as I know, it is extremely rare for the FIFA appeals committee to overturn a ruling by the FIFA disciplinary committee. And back in June 10, the disciplinary committee had ruled in favor of Ecuador. We can expect a verdict within this week itself (probably within the next 24 hours). The hearing is being conducted from Zurich by a 3-judge bench, and is done remotely. The problem is that the ruling may not be final. If either Chile or Ecuador lose, they can still make another appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

And FIFA made the final decision on this case.
https://www.fifa.com/legal/media-releases/fifa-appeal-committee-passes-decision-on-eligibility-of-player-byron-david

''The FIFA Appeal Committee has rendered its decision on the appeals lodged by the Chilean Football Association (FFCH) and the Peruvian Football Association (FPF) against the decision issued by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee on the potential ineligibility of the player Byron David Castillo Segura with regard to his participation in eight qualifying matches of the national team of the Ecuadorian Football Association (FEF) in the preliminary competition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

Having analysed the submissions of all parties and after a hearing had been conducted, the Appeal Committee confirmed the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to close the proceedings initiated against the FEF. Amongst other considerations, it deemed that on the basis of the documents presented, the player was to be considered as holding permanent Ecuadorian nationality in accordance with art. 5 par. 1 of the FIFA Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes.

The findings of the decision passed by the Appeal Committee were notified to the parties concerned today. The present decision remains subject to an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.''

Therefore, this decision is not yet final and Peru can still appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, will this final decision be made in time, before the start of the world championship in Qatar?
This is a very unpleasant situation for Ecuador because it may happen that they go to Qatar and find out a few days before the start of the World Cup that they are banned from participating in the World Cup.
The question is whether any other national team can really replace Ecuador so quickly and how much it would affect the regularity of the world championship.
What do you think?

This is something very painful for the Ecuadorian team, but and I say something, when FIFA decides something it is very difficult for it to be reversed, they can very well accept all the arguments that are necessary, but it is something impossible that for a player who has a nationality problem they have to remove him from the World Cup, although now I'm not sure how things are being handled in FIFA, if they excluded Russia, at the football level at least I can expect anything, more if there is money from By the way, we all know all the shady deals that were in FIFA a few years ago, but now Ecuador will play in the World Cup, it has already been repeated several times.

In fact, this World Cup in Qatar is going to be the best World Cup in history. Everyone is electing to make their party as strong as possible. This time Argentina, Brazil as the favorite team in the World Cup. They are in pretty good shape. The rest of the teams are working hard. I hope Qatar will present a good and spectacular World Cup this time.

I think saying that is also a bit of an exaggeration. We've had quite surprising world cups with several possible champions. This one really has a good set of teams capable of winning. Now, it is guaranteed to be the most controversial world cup of all time, without a doubt.

Well, I think that if it is a controversial World Cup, well now you have to see everything that happened, first the change of dates, because this World Cup will be held in November when it was always held in June, the eyes of the world are also on Argentina and Portugal, because the biggest controversy will be about CR7 and Messi for the simple fact that it will be his last World Cup, it can also be speculated that Brazil will have a very good performance, it is also said that it will be the last World Cup for Neymar Jr, so all these things come together and they can perform in a great game and everything will turn towards them, we cannot forget that Germany, Spain, France are teams that can surprise.

How can you say that this will be the best world cup in history? Already some of the former players have spoken against the human rights abuses and corruption in Qatar. And fans are not happy with all the restrictions being imposed upon them. If you believe that splashing billions of USD just to show off their wealth can help Qatar, then you are wrong. They are yet to distribute fair compensation to the 6,000 plus workers who died during the construction of the world cup stadiums. I would rather say that this edition will be one of the worst in the history of FIFA and it will be like a black mark for them.

I agree with you. Qatar won the organization of this World Cup in a very dubious way, labor rights were clearly violated, and for many fans it will be very difficult to get there due to high travel and accommodation costs.
All this is very far from what we are used to seeing at the world championships in Brazil, Italy, Spain... where fans could truly enjoy the football spectacle.
The fans are no longer important, only the money and earnings from the tournament.

Well, we cannot forget that soccer has a great business model that is obvious that what they most want to have is money and spend a lot of money, Qatar is no exception, yes, yes, it is a good World Cup and it will be different, but this is something that cannot be avoided, the rules are many things, even in hotel stays and everything is very radical, this is something that cannot be disregarded, some tourists complain, and it is not for less, if you go to a World Cup people are going to meet, to disfuar and obviously there must be rules, but not so strict, it is obvious that a lot of money must be spent, but in that country much more is spent.
