Las Qatar 2022 Qualifying might take an unexpected turn Positions table. Despite the fact that the last date ended at the end of last March, the presumed bad registration of the Ecuadorian Byron Castillo would leave the world without Tri and would directly benefit a country.
The name of Byron Castillo, player of the Barcelona of Guayaquil, continues to be news in the sports field. His presence in the matches with his national team might be reason for subtracting points from the Tricolor. For this reason, a South American federation has already got its act together and sent a letter.
Which countries would benefit from Byron Castillo’s alleged misregistration?
Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela and Argentina would be the teams that will benefit from the points if it is proven that Byron Castillo is Colombian and not Ecuadorian. However, the team that suits you in a higher grade is that of La Roja, as it would qualify directly for Qatar 2022.
Indeed, the Chilean Football Federation has already sent a letter to FIFA to denounce Byron Castillo’s poor registration. If you were right, the table would look like this.
- Brazil: 45 points
- Argentina: 39 points
- Uruguay: 28 points
- Chile: 24 points
- Peru: 24 points
- Colombia: 23 points
- Paraguay: 19 points
- Bolivia: 18 points
- Venezuela: 13 points
- Ecuador: 12 points
It should be remembered that Peru would not benefit from Byron Castillo’s alleged poor registration, since the player in question did not play in either of the two qualifying matches between Ecuador and Peru.

The Ecuadorian response
