Ecuador's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach S. Beccacece on June 2, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, six defenders, nine midfielders and eight forwards. Ecuador is drawn into Group E, where it faces Germany, Curaçao and Côte d'Ivoire. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Willian Pacho, with 1,094 minutes across 12 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Pedro Vite on 1,088 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 5 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses, scoring 14 goals and conceding 9. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
