Ecuador, which qualified for the Qatar World Cup Finals after winning the World Cup in South America, may be disqualified from the tournament after it was revealed that it had used illegal players during the qualifying rounds. Recently, a member of the Italian Olympic Committee said that if Ecuador had violated the rules, Italy would have benefited from the incident and would have qualified for the final week of the World Cup as a substitute.
The Chilean FA had earlier filed a lawsuit against the International
soccer league
（FIFA has accused Ecuador of using ineligible players to play in the World Cup in South America, saying that the player who played in the match was born in Colombia and not Ecuador, and that some people are suspected of falsifying documents.
Recently, Franco Chimenti, a member of the Italian Olympic Committee, believes that Ecuador is likely to pay a price for this incident, and Italy may be the beneficiary: if Ecuador is penalized, according to FIFA regulations, another national team with the highest world ranking should replace them, and so far, Italy should be the one to replace them.
Baron Castillo has played eight times for Ecuador outside the World Cup, including two matches against Chile with one win and one draw. According to Italian media outlet La Repubblica, FIFA has prepared two options, one is to give Italy, who lost in the European play-offs outside the World Cup, a place in the final week, and the other is to recalculate the points Ecuador scored in the matches in which Barrancas di Ruiz has played during the tournament, and let Chile take over from Ecuador to qualify for the final week.
