Ecuador Unveils Squad for Crucial World Cup Qualifiers Against Peru and Brazil

Ecuador is gearing up for a critical doubleheader in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, facing off against Peru and Brazil. Under new manager Sebastián Beccacece, the Tricolor is determined to secure a direct qualification spot for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Beccacece, a former Argentine manager, has expressed his desire to rewrite Ecuador’s history against Brazil, a team they have never beaten away from home in World Cup qualifiers. The upcoming matches are crucial for Ecuador, who currently sit fifth in the qualifying standings with eight points. They will face Brazil on September 6th in a match that Beccacece describes as urgent, with limited time for preparation. However, he is confident in his team’s ability to be competitive and define a winning strategy.
