Emily Lima, DT of the women’s team, assured that the daily work with the players has served to reach the Copa América in a better state.
However, due to the national strike friendly matches canceled that the Brazilian strategist’s team had planned.
Ecuador had to face Panama on June 26 and 29, at the Banco Guayaquil Stadium in Sangolquí. But the FEF decided to suspend the commitments “as a consequence of the social upheaval in our country“.
The Women’s Tri followed training at the National Team despite not playing the friendly matches, already scheduled before his debut.
In any case, Emily Lima recognized that he has studied his first rival a lot in the tournament of nations: Bolivia.
“We watch some games, to study them and know how do you like to play. From February 2021, to date, Bolivia has changed mainly due to the methodology of the new coach.
23 players will represent the country in the largest contest of nations in the region. A mixture of experience and youth chose Emily Lima to compete in the Copa América.
History of Ecuador in the women’s Copa América
The female tricolor has disputed seven editions of the women’s Copa America. She has played 31 games played and has barely earned 11 points.
Ecuador’s performances have not been outstanding. In his debut in the tournament he received the maximum win, to date, precisely against the host: Brazil.
On January 8, 1995, the ‘Canarinha’ crushed Ecuador 13-0 at Parque do Sabiá Stadium (Minas Gerais) with four goals from Pretinha, a hat-trick from Russa, braces from Michael Jackson and Sissi and scores from Cenira and Roseli.
After the win, Ecuador had to wait two days to score his first goal. It was in the same sports scenario but against Argentina, where Carmen Olivo scored in the 5-1 defeat.
That same year, Ecuador got its first win. The women’s team defeated Bolivia 6-1 on January 14 with goals from Ana Vera (three), Mayra Ramírez (two) and Carmen Olivo.
But Ecuador’s best performance was in the 2010 Copa América, which took place on national territory. The tricolors reached a 75% effectiveness in four games.
While in the 2014 edition, which was also held in the country, the Ecuadorian team reached third place. This has been the greatest achievement of the women’s team in a Copa America.
The 2022 edition will award three places in the World Cup women’s 2023, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
The team that becomes champion will qualify directly for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and will receive an economic prize of $1.5 million.
The team that places second will go to the world playoff. While the third, fourth and fifth place will compete in the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
