Moisés Caicedo, midfielder for the Ecuadorian national team, appeared confident and determined during training sessions held in Butarque. Just a few months ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the Chelsea player asserted that his team “is not afraid of any team.” This statement comes despite his recent red card in the match against Argentina, which will prevent him from playing in the tournament’s opening match.
During a media briefing, Caicedo expressed his desire to “do things right” with the aim of improving before the World Cup begins. Although he is uncertain about his participation in the first game, he remained optimistic, stating that “there is a great possibility” he will be available.
Ecuadorian head coach Sebastián Baccacece has called up 34 players for friendly matches against Morocco and the Netherlands. Caicedo, who has received a warm welcome from fans in Spain, expressed his happiness for the support received and his commitment to the national team.
