Supercopa Ecuador

On 8 January 2021, FEF announced a February date and a four-team format for the Supercopa Ecuador to account for the cancellation of the 2020 Copa Ecuador. [1] On 20 January 2021, Barcelona declined its participation in the competition to avoid a potential conflict with one of its sponsors. [2]

After numerous delays, the FEF announced a late-June date for the tournament on 5 June 2021. FEF further modified the format of the tournament to include six-teams, with Barcelona returning to the draw. [3] As reigning champions of Ecuador, Barcelona were given a bye to the semi-final stage. [4]
