Chile will file a claim for the points if Byron Castillo’s case is confirmed

The soccer player Byron Castillo, who represented Ecuador in the Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, continues to trend, but not because of his performance on the field. According to Marca Claro, the Barcelona SC right back would have been born in Colombia.

The media specified that “after a long trial” it was determined that the birthplace of the athlete would be Tumaco (Nariño). In addition, he pointed out that the case would involve an analysis by the legal area of ​​​​FIFA, Conmebol and even the TAS. And it is that the right back had appearances with the ‘Tricolor’ in the past Qualifiers against Paraguay, Venezuela, Chile (twice), Uruguay and Bolivia.

However, in the southern country, sports authorities are attentive to any news on the subject. This was revealed by the manager of Communications and Corporate Affairs, Gianfranco Dazzarola, of the Chilean Football Federation.

“We are collecting all the background in official and formal ways. If there is space for a claim, assuming that the version is true, we will make the claim for the points”, he pointed out to EFE.

The other version: Byron Castillo is Ecuadorian, but his deceased brother Bayron was Colombian

According to information from journalist Diego Arcos, from BluRadio from Ecuador, Byron Castillo was born in Ecuador so he would act without problems in his national team. The one who was born in Colombia, and for which a legal problem was generated that put the ‘Tricolor’ at risk, was Bayron.

“He has a brother, who is deceased and his name was Bayron Javier, and Byron, it’s Bayron David, I went to see the place, General Villamil and on the machine I took out the baptismal match and it comes out that he is from Guayaquil, I could verify that he was Ecuadorian, but the brother was born in Colombia”.

“Everything is legal in Byron’s papers. Over there they said that there was an inconsistency in his papers and that generated confusion. He has a Colombian mother and brother.”Arcos added.
