Ecuador national football team: Eduardo Hurtado calls for system change

Ecuador national football team has not scored any goals or won a match in the 2026 World Cup.

What happened?

The Tri drew 0-0 with Curaçao in Group E on Saturday, June 21. Before that, in their World Cup debut, the Tri lost 0-1 to Ivory Coast.

Why is it important for Ecuador national football team?

Eduardo Hurtado, former national team player, believes that coach Sebastián Beccacece should implement a tactical change and play with double 9 from the start of the match. The key is led by Germany, already qualified for the round of 16, with 6 units.

What's next?

The Tricolor will have a last chance this Thursday, June 25, against Germany at 15:00. If Ecuador wins, they could secure third place in the table and enter with the 8 best teams in that position in the round of 16.
