BUENOS AIRES: The suspended 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina should be rescheduled for the good of South American football, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Monday. The September 5 duel in Sao Paulo was halted shortly after kickoff when Brazilian health officials walked onto the pitch to object to the participation of four Argentina players for allegedly breaching COVID-19 protocols. "It is always good to decide matches on the pitch and not off the pitch," Infantino told reporters in Buenos Aires on Monday. "It isn't always possible, we have rules. Let's see what FIFA's disciplinary bodies decide." IANS
