The Brazilian Football Confederation announced that the pending duel between the Argentine and Brazilian National Teams will be played in the city of São Paulo on September 22, as part of the South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022.

Although the decision of the CBF has been made, from the AFA they await the resolution of the FIFA Appeals Committee with the intention that the match not be played.

At the request of Lionel Scaloni, Argentine executives claim that it will not take place, although FIFA has already expressed itself as a result of the suspension on September 5 of last year at the Neo Química stadium in Corinthians, which would once again be the stage.

In addition, on that occasion Emiliano Buendía, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian “Cuti” Romero had also been suspended for two games each “for not complying with the FIFA Protocol for International Return-to-Soccer Matches.” .

The problem was that the income of the four players mentioned played in England, a country that had a restriction for those who entered Brazil from there. In this way, they did not comply with the quarantine.
