The Ecuadorian national football team represents Ecuador in international association football competitions and is controlled by the Ecuadorian Football Federation. They generally play official home matches at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito, but often plays friendlies in other stadiums around the country or in the United States.

Ecuador has qualified for two FIFA World Cups in 2002 and 2006. Their best performance came in 2006 when they advanced to the Round of 16, eventually eliminated by England. They are one of three countries in South America to not win the Copa América. Their best performance in the continental tournament was fourth in 1959 and 1993, both times on home soil.
