On September 7, the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup begin, where Ecuador begins its journey, as a guest against the current world champion: Argentina.

The Albiceleste has its biggest figure and captain like Lionel Messi, who has as teammates Ecuadorians Dixon Arroyo and Leonardo Campana, in Inter Miami.

And although the list of those invited by the Spaniard Félix Sánchez Bas for this commitment is not yet known, one of the aforementioned footballers will receive a gift from the world star.

It is about striker Campani, who predicted that he already asked La Pulga for his jersey in exchange, and the Albiceleste promised to give it to him.

Are Argentina-Ecuador coming to the Qualifiers, have they discussed it with Messi?, the Ecuadorian was asked.

“Yes, I told him he could give me that jersey (the one he will wear against Tri) and he said yes. I already have that memory to preserve for posterity,” Campana replied.

The Ecuadorian striker insisted that even if he is not invited to Tri to measure the gauchos, he will receive the promised gift. (D)
