Through a video on the social networks of the Ecuadorian national team, the invitation of coach Félix Sánchez Bas was announced for the matches of the 2026 South American qualifiers against Bolivia and Colombia.
The main novelty on this list is that of winger John Yeboah Zamora, who is the son of a German and an Ecuadorian mother, and plays for Raków Częstochowa, the current champion of the Polish league.
The call-up also sees the return of Piero Hincapié, who has recovered from injury, as well as striker Jordy Caicedo, who is having a notable campaign with Atlas de México, where he is their top scorer.
