Ecuador
Team Profile
- This will be Ecuador’s fifth FIFA World Cup™. Having also participated at Qatar 2022, they are featuring in successive editions for the second time and have only missed out on the finals twice since making their debut at the 2002 edition.
- Their best achievement in the global competition came in 2006 when they reached the round of 16. They finished as runners-up behind host-nation Germany in a group which also contained Poland and Costa Rica. They subsequently fell to a 1-0 defeat against England in the round of 16.
- Ecuador’s all-time leading scorer Enner Valencia is also the record marksman for his country at the World Cup with a total of six goals; he notched three goals at both the 2014 and the 2022 editions.
- La Tri impressively finished in second place in the South American qualifying tournament for the 2026 finals and had the fewest defeats (two) and the fewest goals conceded (five) of all ten teams.
