LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- The Court of Arbitration for Sport says the Bolivian football federation appealed against FIFA orders to forfeit two World Cup qualifying matches for fielding an ineligible player.
The CAS detailed a timetable on Thursday that should take several months to reach a verdict.
FIFA imposed 3-0 losses against Bolivia for a 0-0 draw with Chile and 2-0 win over Peru last September.
The amended results have lifted Chile over Argentina into an automatic World Cup qualifying place in the 10-team South American group.
In both disputed games, Bolivia fielded Paraguay-born defender Nelson Cabrera as a late substitute.
