Ecuador Copa America

The Copa America stands as the preeminent tournament in senior men's soccer within South America, determining the continental champion. Previously known as the South American Championship until 1967, it holds the distinction of being the world's oldest continental championship.

Ecuador Copa America team finds itself in the company of Venezuela as one of only two CONMEBOL members yet to clinch a continental title or secure a top-three finish. Their quest for championship glory continues as they strive to make history.

A notable highlight in the team's history dates back to 1963 when Carlos Alberto Raffo emerged as the tournament's top scorer, netting an impressive six goals. Raffo remains the sole Ecuadorian to have received an individual award at a continental championship. Despite his goal-scoring prowess, Ecuador finished in sixth place out of seven nations that year.

As the Copa America 2024 unfolds, Ecuador's team aims to break new ground and create moments that transcend their historical achievements, aspiring to carve a significant place for themselves in the annals of South American football.
