Ecuador have left defender Byron Castillo out of their 26-man squad for the World Cup despite the player being deemed an Ecuadorean national by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
in Qatar after dismissing a claim by Chile that Castillo had been ineligible to play during the qualifiers.
In September, FIFA had dismissed Chile's appeal following their original complaint that Castillo was born in Tumaco, Colombia in 1995 and not in the Ecuadorean city of General Villamil Playas in 1998, as stated on his official documents. Ecuador have always denied that the player was ineligible. The FEF said they used the correct eligibility criteria to select Castillo and that they were analysing the next steps as they did not agree with the sanction imposed.
"I'm here to give opportunities ... I said the doors of the national team are open as I called players from 18 to 38 years old and all got their place," the manager had told a news conference on Saturday.
