Earlier, the Chilean Football Federation filed an official complaint with FIFA regarding the Ecuadorian defender’s participation in the matches. Byron Castillo . According to the Chileans, the 23-year-old is not who he claims to be and he was not born in Ecuador at all, but in the neighboring country of Colombia.
