Argentina travels to Ecuador in the final round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup CONMEBOL qualifiers, with both nations already qualified for next summer’s World Cup.
La Albiceleste is coming off a stellar performance against Venezuela. Lionel Scaloni’s side dominated from start to finish and dispatched La Vinotinto 3–0. It was a very emotional night at the Estadio Mâs Monumental given it was almost certainly Lionel Messi’s final World Cup qualifier game—he will not play against Ecuador.
Sebastián Beccacece’s Ecuador, on the other hand, settled for a fourth straight 0–0 draw last time out against Paraguay. Ecuador has become one of the best defensive teams in the world, entering the match vs. Argentina on a 10-match unbeaten run where it’s conceded just one goal.
Scaloni called Ecuador “one of the best national teams in the world right now” prior to the game. Beccacece responded by calling Scaloni’s Argentina “the best national team in history.”
The stakes might be relatively low, but these are two of the most in-form national teams in the world facing off. Here’s where you can watch Argentina’s clash vs. Ecuador.
