"The Ecuador World Cup 2026 squad is set to be one of the dark horses in North America next summer The South American outfit qualified for their second consecutive tournament, the second time they have qualified for two back-to-back World Cups in their history. Moises Caicedo missed the October set of friendlies, but he'll likely be leading a young group to World Cup 2026."
"You may like Ecuador lost just twice in World Cup qualification, away to Argentina and Brazil, which to be fair, they can probably be excused from. They picked up eight wins, and only one of these viceties was by more than one goal, a 4-0 hammering of Bolivia. They drew eight games, all of them 0-0. Across the 18 games they only scored 14 goals, but conceding just five means they picked up a whopping 29 points: that's over two points per goal."
Manager Sebastian Beccacece has organized a defensively disciplined Ecuador side that conceded only five goals in 18 qualifiers, drawing eight 0-0s and losing only twice, to Argentina and Brazil. Ecuador earned 29 points with eight wins and a low scoring output of 14 goals, relying on defensive solidity more than attack. Key players include Moises Caicedo, Piero Hincapie, and Willian Pacho, with Caicedo likely to lead a young squad. The November selection blends experienced defenders and promising midfielders and forwards, providing a setup capable of taking bigger teams to penalties in North America.
