Ecuador's Football Federation (FEF) has formally complained to FIFA regarding incidents during their World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match against Mexico, which they lost 2-0. The federation claims these incidents compromised the safety of players and fans, including delays in their travel to Mexico, crowds gathering outside their hotel, fireworks, and post-match attacks by local fans involving liquids and objects. The FEF emphasized that this was the proper channel to investigate such matters and stated they would hold meetings with clubs and associations to provide transparency on economic management related to the team's participation in the tournament. Additionally, the federation mentioned they have begun searching for a new head coach for the national team.
