2023 Supercopa Ecuador

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

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]

  • The Serie A champions

In the event the same club wins both the league and the domestic cup, its rival in the Supercopa will be the Copa Ecuador runner-up.[7]
