What time does the Ecuador national team play against Colombia for the South American qualifiers?

The Ecuadorian team protected itself in its concentration at La Casa de la Selección, in Quito, to train in anticipation of Colombia next Tuesday in the fourth round of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

The team led by Spaniard Félix Sánchez returned from Bolivia on a charter flight and the team will rest in their fortress in the capital of Ecuador, with the satisfaction of a long-running 1-2 win against Bolivia.

Ecuador’s national team managed to avoid injuries and suspensions in the clash with Bolivia, but it will be the medical team who will issue their report.

Defender Piero Hincapié returned to the team after an injury that kept him out of the game last year, and with the recent victory he became one of the ‘gladiators’ again.

The next challenge will be against Colombia, which they beat 6-1 in the last qualifying round, but which the coach and players predicted would be a different game, because of the good moment they are going through, despite the fact that they tied yesterday, Thursday, at home 1-1 against Uruguay.

Kendry Páez, ‘historic’ with the Ecuadorian team

In the current qualifiers, Ecuador lost 1-0 against Argentina in its debut, won in Quito in a complicated match against Uruguay 2-1, defeated Bolivia with the same result and will close against Colombia next Tuesday.

The results were favorable for Ecuador, but the team is in the process of a football transition from what it was under the leadership of Argentine coach Gustavo Alfaro, who led them in the qualifiers and then at the World Cup in Qatar.

Sánchez confirmed most of the players that Alfaro left in the team, but there is an evident change in the idea of ​​the game, which so far several players have difficulty assimilating.
