History

Ecuador first qualified for a World Cup in 2002 and has since appeared in 4 of the last 7 tournaments. Their breakthrough in 2006 saw them reach the Round of 16 for the first and only time.

Culture

Ecuador plays their home qualifiers at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in Quito, sitting at 2,850 meters altitude. The thin air gives them one of the most formidable home advantages in world football.

Key player

Moisés Caicedo became Ecuador's most expensive player ever when Chelsea signed him for over £100 million in 2023. At 24, he leads a young generation aiming to make 2026 their deepest World Cup run.
