The Italian hopes of a "miraculous" repechage (an eventuality hovering more in the social dreams of the fans than in the concrete interpretation of the regulations) definitively fade.
The Fifa Disciplinary Committee has in fact rejected the appeal of Chile , confirming the participation of Ecuador in the final phase of the next football world championships in Qatar .
This was announced by the same body that manages world football, explaining that the Disciplinary rejected the request of the Chilean Federation regarding the passport of the player Byron David Castillo Segura , who participated in eight qualifying matches for the Ecuadorian national team and that according to the Chileans would be Colombian by birth .
The decision remains subject to possible appeal and the reasons are not yet known. But, for the moment, Ecuador remains at the World Cup.
