DIRECT. World Cup: Infantino calls for a truce in Ukraine, the list of Ecuador has fallen

The Castillo mess, missing from the Ecuadorian list.

Having played eight qualifying matches in the Amsud zone, Byron Castillo will not go to the World Cup. Surprise. The party was at the center of a dispute about his nationality. Chile and Peru took over CAS to cancel Ecuador’s qualification. Sports justice considered that Castillo could be put on a par, since the Ecuadorian authorities “recognized” the defender as a “citizen of Ecuador”, although he was born in Colombia.

The Ecuadorian federation will still have to pay a €100,650 fine and start the next qualifying campaign with 3 penalty points.

Relive the first day of the rally

To pack and surprise guests, not everything went as planned at Clairefontaine. Presnel Kimpembe, worried about his Achilles tendon, will not go to Qatar and Axel Disasi outnumbered him. Marcus Thuram celebrated his return to the blue house, which he has not seen since Euro 2021.

Deschamps and Hugo Lloris gave themselves over to the game at the press conference. In particular, it was about human rights and the “One Love” bandage.
