Chile And Peru Appeal To CAS To Kick Ecuador Out Of World Cup

Chile and Peru have both appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as they seek to have Ecuador thrown out of the World Cup, the court announced Friday. FIFA, global football's governing body, ruled for Ecuador in early September in a dispute over the nationality of Byron Castillo, who played for Ecuador in qualifying. CAS is the last legal resort available to the two South American nations. Ecuador will kick off the World Cup in Doha on November 20 when they face hosts Qatar.

CAS accepts Chile's appeal over Ecuador World Cup player

Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has registered an appeal by the Chilean football federation (FFCH) against FIFA's decision to allow Ecuador to play at the World Cup despite allegations they fielded an ineligible player, it said on Friday. World governing body FIFA earlier this month dismissed an appeal in the case of Ecuadorean player Byron Castillo, who Chile had alleged was ineligible to play in qualifying since he was born in Colombia. Castillo played in eight of Ecuador's qualifying games - including twice against Chile - for the Qatar World Cup as they took fourth place, while Chile finished seventh.
