Currently in the bottom ranking of the South American standing, La Tri ‘s best result in this tournament was when the hosted the game in 1993, they reached the quarter-final and finished 4th. On the other hand, they have shown more of their ability in the World Cup stage. The Ecuadorian qualified in 2002 and 2006, which they passed the group stages in the latter year but was knockout when they met England in the Round of 16 stage.
