The Chilean national team dreams of the World Cup again
The morning of Wednesday, May 11, FIFA pronounced on the case of footballer Byron Castillo and stated that it has opened a file to initiate investigations. The same statement also mentions an invitation to the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) to present its position.
After this announcement, Chilean media reported on this news and showed optimism with the response from the highest organ of world football. Some even dream of the possible qualification for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
One of them was the newspaper La Tercera, which titled an article as follows: "Chile's World Cup illusion takes a new step: FIFA opens disciplinary proceedings on Byron Castillo's case."
