The piquant case involves the whole of South America. Castillo has played several matches for Ecuador’s national team in the qualifiers. Castillo helped Ecuador capture last place in the World Cup. This week, lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo presented important evidence. PROOF: Eduardo Carlezzo thinks this birth certificate traps the football player from Ecuador. Photo: Esteban Felix / AP Carlezzo is a lawyer for the Chilean Football Association, and produced Castillo’s birth certificate. It says that the player was born in Colombia. He is therefore not allowed to represent Ecuador. – We have delivered all the tests and the player is Colombian. But the World Cup is just around the corner and nothing has happened, says Carlezzo according to Colombian El Tiempo. Complaint in May It has been a month since the Chilean Football Association complained about the case. Dei meiner Byron Castillo was born in Colombia in 1995, not in Ecuador in 1995. – This is serious and must be investigated thoroughly, the association wrote in a statement. – Football can not stand and watch this. The practice of serious and deliberate violations can not be accepted, especially not when it comes to the World Cup. It must be fair play on and off the field, they wrote in a statement published on their own website. ILLEGAL? Byron Castillo (right) in international for Ecuador against Argentina. Photo: FRANKLIN JACOME / Reuters The International Football Association commented shortly afterwards. They sent the case to their disciplinary committee and asked for an explanation from both the federation in Peru and Ecuador. They later opened an investigation into the case. While Chile has worked hard to get Ecuador thrown out of the World Cup, it has been surprisingly quiet from the opponent. They are confident that the rules have been followed and that they will go to the World Cup in Qatar. – Fifa does not have the authority to decide the nationality of a player, it is decided by local authorities. Ecuadorian authorities have stated that the player can register for Ecuador, says President Francisco Egas. – We are confident that we have followed the rules, he states. LAWYER: Eduardo Carlezzo represents the Chilean Football Association in the case. Photo: Esteban Felix / AP – A crime The reason for the strong commitment in Chile is that they ended up in the place behind Ecuador in the World Cup qualifiers. If they succeed in the case, they hope to take Ecuador’s place in the World Cup. – We can not accept that the association accepts such a crime. They deserve the toughest sanction from Fifa, says lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo. Fifa has strict regulations for representation and change of national teams. In between, you can have played a maximum of three A-national matches for one nation if you are going to change national teams. At the same time, a player must have dual, multiple or “joint” citizenship at the time the player was first on the court in an official tournament. It is expected that Fifa will come up with a decision in the case on Friday 10 June, but lawyer Carlezzo has already announced that they will appeal the case entirely to the highest court, the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS).
