The Ecuador national football team is the national team of Ecuador and is controlled by the Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol. It is historically one of the weakest teams in CONMEBOL, but it has been recently on the rise, making their first World Cup in 2002. There, an upset over Croatia was not enough to get them into the second round. Their best finish in Copa América was fourth in 1993 (they also finished fourth in the 'extra' South American Championship in 1959).
