Chile is claiming that Ecuador’s Byron Castillo is actually from Columbia and should not have played in World Cup qualifiers.

The Associated Press

Chile's appeal hearing to challenge Ecuador’s place at this year's World Cup because of an alleged ineligible player has been set for Sept. 15. FIFA said Thursday its appeals committee has invited Byron Castillo, the Ecuador player at the center of the dispute, to be available as a witness. No target was given for a verdict barely two months before Ecuador is scheduled to open the World Cup against host Qatar on Nov. 20 in Doha.

Although FIFA’s appeal judges rarely overturn a ruling by the soccer body’s disciplinary committee, the Chilean soccer federation has to go through the chamber before making a subsequent appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
