The Supercopa Ecuador (Ecuador Supercup) is an annual one-match football official competition in Ecuador organised by the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) to be played by the champions of the Ecuadorian Serie A and the Copa Ecuador of the previous season, starting from 2020. This competition serves as the season curtain-raiser and is scheduled to be played in late January or early February each year, one week before the start of the season. [1]

History

With the transfer of organizing rights for the Ecuadorian Serie A and Serie B from FEF to the LigaPro as well as the creation of the Copa Ecuador in 2018, [2] on 4 July 2019 the FEF decided to approve the creation of a supercup competition to be played by the champions of both the Serie A and the Copa Ecuador a week prior to the start of each league season, starting from 2020. [1] On 31 October 2019, the first Supercopa Ecuador edition was confirmed to be played by the league and cup champions of the 2019 season, taking place on 1 February 2020 at a neutral ground. [3]

For its 2021 edition and given that the 2020 Copa Ecuador was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FEF announced an expansion of the tournament to four teams, which would play in two single-leg semi-final matches and a final between the semi-final winners in the cities of Guayaquil and Quito. In addition to the most recent Serie A and Supercopa Ecuador champions, Independiente del Valle and Emelec were invited to play that edition of the competition on account of their recent achievements. [4] The 2021 edition was later expanded to six teams, with two teams getting a bye to the semi-finals. [5] The competition reverted to its original format for its following edition in 2023, since the Copa Ecuador was played in the previous year. [6]
