Ecuador World Cup 2022 results, squad list, fixtures and latest odds

Ecuador were eliminated from the 2022 following their 2-1 defeat in their final Group A game against Senegal.

That left them on four points, which was not enough to progress to the last 16 – the Netherlands and Senegal the two sides to go through.

Ecuador World Cup 2022 squad

Who was the star name in the squad?

Former West Ham striker Enner Valencia, now 33, is the team’s most experienced forward. Now signed with Fenerbahce, he scored four goals in qualification but none in the fatal match against Senegal.

This tournament was an important moment for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing the 21-year-old as a replacement for Luka Modric. His market value skyrocketed ahead of the World Cup and could still be impressive following his goal in Tuesday's match.

What is Ecuador’s World Cup record?

This is Ecuador's fourth World Cup. They first appeared in Japan and South Korea in 2002, before competing at Germany 2006 and Brazil 2014. They reached the round of 16 in 2006, their best result.

Ecuador raised eyebrows in the South American qualifiers, winning away in Chile, losing to Paraguay, and drawing to Argentina and Brazil, which saw them reach fourth spot ahead of Peru, Colombia, Chile and Paraguay.

Going into the tournament, their form was promising, winning two and drawing three of their last six matches, including a 1-1 tie with Argentina.

The Andeans, who have qualified alongside regional powerhouses Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, have now qualified for four of the past six finals, a better record than the likes of Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Peru.
