The Ecuador national football team officially revealed its roster on Friday, March 20, for the upcoming international friendlies against Morocco and the Netherlands, scheduled to take place in Europe during the FIFA international window. Head coach Sebastián Beccacece has opted for a broad selection, aiming to test various player positions and refine the squad in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Beccacece has indicated that he has approximately 20 players in mind for his core team, making this call-up crucial for determining the final spots on the definitive roster.
Among the most notable inclusions is the return of Jordy Caicedo, a forward currently in excellent form with Huracán in Argentina. Another significant addition is Anthony Valencia, a winger playing for Antwerp in Belgium, who has been recalled after several years due to his impressive performances in European football. Additionally, Jackson Porozo, a defender currently playing in Mexico and a participant in the 2022 World Cup, is also back in the fold after being absent from recent call-ups.
This roster reflects the coaching staff's intention to broaden their options and assess player performances in a competitive international setting. The first match will take place against Morocco on March 27 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, a venue commonly used by Atlético Madrid. Following that, Ecuador will face the Netherlands on March 31 at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, home to PSV.
