On Saturday, Ecuador will start their 2024 Copa America race with a match against Venezuela at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Despite their lack of previous victories in this competition, Felix Sanchez’s team is filled with promising young talent who have the potential to excel in their first major international tournament.
Ecuador may have the best youthful talent in South America outside of Argentina and Brazil. With 12 players under 23 in their Copa America lineup, the nation has a promising future on the pitch, but this tournament may be too early for them to contend.
Venezuela, their first opponent, has lost their past five internationals and heads to the US in bad condition. The team hopes to do well in the group stage, but they’ve only won one of their previous 10 head-to-head matches, so a poor start is possible.
