Ecuador's best record at the tournament has been a fourth-place finish, twice. But who is in their 2024 Copa America squad?

Ecuador will be looking to leave a lasting impression at the 2024 Copa America as they are set to make their 30th appearance at the tournament.

Former AFC Asian Cup winner with Qatar, Felix Sanchez Bas was appointed as the head coach of La Tri in March 2023. The Spanish gaffer has garnered a W3 D2 L1 record at the World Cup 2026 qualifiers so far.

Drawn alongside Mexico, Venezuela and Jamaica for the upcoming Copa tournament, Ecuador will play preparatory international friendly games against Argentina, Bolivia and Honduras on June 10, 13 and 17, respectively.

GOAL takes a look at Sanchez's 26-man final Copa America squad announced on May 29.

    DEFENDERS

    Despite Pervis Estupinan not making the cut, Sanchez has several natural full-backs in Angelo Preciado, Piero Hincapie and Jose Hurtado, with Hincapie also capable of playing as a centre-back especially when there are three at the back.

    At the same time, Preciado can double up as a right winger, with Felix Torres and Willian Pacho making the main centre-back options.

    Meanwhile, the uncapped duo of Andres Micolta and Layan Loor have made the final squad ahead of Sao Paulo's Robert Arboleda.
