FIFA president Gianni Infantino believes the suspended 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina should be decided on the pitch. The September 5 match in Sao Paulo was suspended after seven minutes due to alleged breaches of COVID-19 protocols. (More Football News)
바카라It is always good to decide matches on the pitch and not off the pitch,바카라 Infantino said in a news conference on Monday in Buenos Aires. 바카라It isn바카라t always possible, we have rules. Let바카라s see what FIFA바카라s disciplinary bodies decide.바카라
The match was interrupted when an agent from Brazil바카라s health agency, Anvisa, and a policeman walked onto the pitch to remove four England-based Argentina players who the agency said should be in quarantine.
At the time, Brazil imposed mandatory quarantine on foreigners coming from England. The players are being investigated in Brazil for allegedly providing false information on arrival. 바카라That cannot happen, that a match is interrupted this way is unacceptable,바카라 Infantino said. 바카라That does damage to soccer.바카라
In South America to promote FIFA바카라s proposal for biennial World Cups, Infantino said if it was approved it wouldn바카라t change South America바카라s round-robin qualifying format. 바카라Playing all qualifying in one month is not a solution," he said.
Infantino has told national football bodies in South America that the current calendar is a disadvantage for the teams of the region because their players have to travel much more to play.
바카라We have understood, we heard that in South America it is important to play the 18 rounds, one home and one away. We can do it with a new calendar, and that could provide more opportunities and more thrill,바카라 he said, without giving details on how all those qualifying matches would be played for biennial World Cups.
FIFA바카라s proposal has been criticized by CONMEBOL, UEFA and the International Olympic Committee. Infantino also visited Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile during his trip.
