The Ecuadorians will start the Qualifiers with less than three points and that is because they will have to comply with a sanction from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), who gave their opinion before the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
It must be remembered that Ecuador was sanctioned by this body after learning of the ruling on the player Byron Castillo, who was accused by the Chilean National Team of having Colombian nationality and having presented false documents about his true origin. That led the Ecuadorians to fulfill that punishment in the current 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
In this way, Ecuador is obliged to beat Argentina as a visitor and then to remain in favor, they will have to score against Uruguay in Quito.
