Although they were eliminated after losing to North Macedonia in the play-off round to compete for the 2022 World Cup, the Italian team once again had hope rekindled.
Although entering the 2022 World Cup qualifiers as the defending champions of EURO 2020, the Italian team suddenly played poorly and had to compete for a ticket in the play-off round.
Italy could not enter the play-off final with Portugal after losing miserably to North Macedonia last March.
However, recently, a ray of hope flashed again for coach Roberto Mancini’s team when FIFA is seriously investigating the cheating behavior of the Ecuadorian national team.
Last June, after La Tri (the nickname of the Ecuadorian national team) defeated Chile in the decisive match for tickets to the 2022 World Cup finals, the Byron Castillo case was exposed.
The Daily Mail has released convincing evidence that Ecuador cheated when using defender Byron Castillo.
This suspicion was sued by Ecuador’s `defeated general`, Chile, to FIFA shortly after that time.
The grounds given by this famous daily newspaper in the foggy country were very convincing and it caused FIFA to return to investigate the above cheating incident.
The army nicknamed La Tri will certainly be punished by FIFA if what the press is suspecting is true.
Thus, the final position for the World Cup will be empty and it is possible that the highest level football body on the planet will organize another qualifying match.
The Euro 2020 defending champions once again revived their hope of attending the biggest football festival on the planet after a season of absence.
Meanwhile, Italy is fully qualified to be given priority number 1 because of its position on the FIFA rankings for national teams.
The evidence is clear, Ecuador is facing a ban from participating in the World Cup for the second time
