The Ecuadorian Football Federation has recently sent a letter to CONMEBOL in which it requests the non-inclusion in the 2022 international lists of the referees and assistant referees who have decided not to referee matches in the first two divisions, as a measure of protest due to the non-payment of their salaries.
"Consequently, and while this measure lasts, we ask you not to consider their participation in international events, including their candidacies for the international lists of FIFA referees for 2022", states the document signed by the FEF president Francisco Egas.
