The race for the presidency of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) is heating up as Esteban Paz reveals new additions to his campaign team. Amid the electoral process, Paz confirmed that Segundo Castillo, a former player and coach for Barcelona SC, will play a significant but unofficial role in his plans for the FEF. Although not formally listed as a candidate, Castillo’s experience and connection to Ecuadorian football make him a valuable asset to Paz's campaign, which is aimed at bringing reform to the federation.

Paz also highlighted the involvement of Antonio Valencia, a revered figure in Ecuador’s football history. Both Valencia and Castillo are expected to serve as links between the national team and the federation, signaling Paz's intent to integrate historical players into the administrative structure of Ecuadorian football. By involving such prominent personalities, Paz aims to reinforce his candidacy and attract support from fans and stakeholders in the sport.

Additionally, the inclusion of Francisco Paquico Correa further strengthens Paz's campaign, indicating a strategic approach to build a coalition of respected figures in Ecuador's football landscape. As the elections approach, these appointments are likely to influence voters and could potentially reshape the future of football governance in Ecuador, depending on the outcomes of the electoral process.
