On Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 19:00 (local time), the Ecuadorian national team will host Bolivia at the Estadio Monumental in Guayaquil for Matchday 11 of the 2026 South American Qualifiers, and tickets are still available.
According to reports, as of the evening of Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the FEF had sold around 25,000 tickets through their website
www.fanfef, while the venue has a capacity of 59,283 spectators.
To encourage both ian and n fans to purchase their tickets, the FEF released a video across all its social media platforms (@LaTri), featuring defender Willian Pacho, central defender Piero Hincapié, and midfielder Kendry Páez saying, "Hello everyone! We hope to see you this Thursday, buy your ticket!"
While Bolivia have lost 14 of their last 19 games, they are still performing above expectations in this section, and have a real chance of making the finals being held in the USA, the same host country from their previous appearance over three decades ago.
However, simply put, Bolivia are an entirely different team away from home, as their 6-0 drubbing in Argentina proved last month.
Their shock win in Chile in September was their first on the road in qualifying for 67 matches, the longest winless streak anywhere in the world, as using the altitude to their advantage at home in El Alto will be the deciding factor as to whether they qualify.
Venezuela and Colombia could not handle the even more testing conditions higher up from their previous home ground in La Paz, with some of the Colombian players requiring oxygen on the sidelines during the game.
The odd point here and there on the road will be hugely beneficial, but it would be no surprise if La Verde are simply targeting four wins from their final four home games, which would almost surely guarantee at least a playoff place, if not better.
