The Ecuador World Cup 2022 squad has been declared, with previous West Ham striker Enner Valencia driving the 26-man group as skipper.
Profoundly unfancied when the Qatar World Cup 2022 qualifiers started, Ecuador cleared to their fourth World Cup finals on time.
The wily Gustavo Alfaro has etched a reasonable side from the award picks of South America’s renowned Independiente del Valle youth foundation – including Brighton’s Moises Caicedo – and they are coordinated, truly intense and mercilessly direct on the counter. Scarcely any will anticipate much from La Tri in Qatar, yet that is exactly the way in which they like it.
Ecuador are participating in their fourth FIFA World Cup as they gear up to partake in the 2022 version at Qatar. They had before taken part in the 2002, 2006 and 2014 versions. Hence, the South American country will be partaking following a hole of 8 years at the super competition. They have onlly figured out how to meet all requirements for the knockout adjusts once, in the 2006 version, neglecting to cross the gathering stage in 2002 and 2014.
Ecuador qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 after they completed fourth in the South American capability segment, behind Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, in this way procuring a programmed passage into the principal release of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022.They won seven, drew five and lost six of their 18 matches in the gathering stage to gather 26 focuses.
They’ll have to continue to refute the cynics in Qatar. On their day, Ecuador can be cruel – simply ask Colombia, who experienced their heaviest passing loss starting around 1977, on account of La Tri. That 6-1 frolic cost Carlos Queiroz his work.
The experience of Enner Valencia – the commander and record goalscorer – adds to unnoticed youthful ability who make up ostensibly the most astonishing age in Ecuador’s set of experiences. They are likewise lightning on the move.
Notwithstanding, the absence of a quality goalkeeper is a major concern. Alexander Dominguez, 35 and quite a ways beyond his best, is as yet expected to begin notwithstanding having been dropped at one point in the passing effort.

Who is Ecuador’s best player?
Moises Caicedo hasn’t thought back since making his presentation against Argentina quite a while back – he’s the heartbeat of all that great about this Ecuador group. Caicedo, 21 by competition start off and a star in South America some time before succeeding for Brighton this season, can make Manchester Joined lament pulling out of a £4.5m bargain year and a half back.
What number of players are Ecuador permitted to take to the 2022 World Cup?
Public supervisors were permitted to carry 26 players to the previous summer’s European Title interestingly at a significant competition, as an extraordinary measure got because of the Coronavirus pandemic – while last year’s Copa America permitted squads of 28 players.
Presently it has been declared that 26-player squads will return for the Qatar World Cup, an extension from the typical 23-man groups.
