Played with date of birth

FIFA can export
In FIFA’s decision, Ecuador’s expulsion from the World Cup, in which Fenerbahce Enner Valencia wears the jersey, will also be on the agenda.
If the expulsion occurs, Chile, which finished the World Cup qualifying group just below Ecuador, will be included in the tournament.
