The International Football Federation (FIFA) announced on Friday in a statement that it has decided to "close the disciplinary procedure" that had been undertaken against Ecuador for the case of a possible improper alignment of Byron Castillo, without indicating any sanction.
The disciplinary procedure had been opened in mid-May, following the accusation of the Chilean Football Federation, and in recent weeks it had made Ecuador fear its presence at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, for which it achieved its qualification and in which it is grouped in group A, along with the host Qatar, the Netherlands and Senegal.
