Due to the homophobic shouting against the national team, world football’s governing body has determined a reduction in capacity for the debut of the Tri in Qualifiers.
Ecuadorian football has received a new blow. The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) suffers another impact after being sanctioned for the next Qualifiers for the case of Byron Castillo .
In the last hours, FIFA has determined a new sanction for the Ecuadorian football entity. The Zurich-based organization has formalized a penalty for attacking chants that fans dedicated to Chile as they contested the World Cup in Qatar.
“Poropopó, poropopó, the one who does not jump is a Chilean fag”, we heard on Qatari territory. The Ecuadorian party performed the song many times, before, during and after the Tri meetings. This led to the opening of a file by the disciplinary committee, in particular on the duel played on November 20 against the locals, which resulted in a heavy fine.
“The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the Ecuadorian Football Federation with a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs “, Details the report. Additionally, world football’s governing body has confirmed that the South American side won’t be able to rely on their full capacity for their Qualifiers debut: “The partial closure of the stadium for the next official FIFA match to be played by its men’s team in category ‘A’ ”.
In this line, the text specifies that the penalties are due to “violations of Article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code in light of the chants of Ecuadorian fans during the match Qatar vs Ecuador of the FIFA World Cup » .
complex context
And it is that the gift of the Ecuadorian team is not the best, Well, besides staying eliminated in the group stage a few days ago it was confirmed the departure of coach Gustavo Alfaro . The coach failed to reach an agreement with the Federation and will step down after two years.
“We inform the country that after a few months of conversations between the Federation and Professor Gustavo Alfaro, the parties have decided to be free to evaluate and seek new options for the benefit and development of their interests,” said the Federation said in a statement. . .
But it does not stop there, since the sanction they will receive is added because the CAS has accepted a large part of the Chilean allegations for the bad registration of Byron Castillo. That is why Ecuador will start the qualification process for the next World Cup with three points less.
