The relationship between the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) and Liga Pro has reached a breaking point, with FEF president Francisco Egas citing personal differences with Liga Pro president Miguel Ángel Loor. This discord has emerged in the backdrop of an electoral process scheduled for March 17, 2024, which may face disruptions due to legal challenges. The lack of cooperation between these two key football organizations raises concerns about the future governance of Ecuadorian football.

In addition to the administrative rift, Club Sport Emelec is grappling with sanctions imposed by FIFA, stemming from financial disputes with players Leandro Vega and Alejandro Cabeza. The club faces debts totaling around $570,000, and efforts to negotiate payment plans have stalled, as the players demand immediate full payment. This financial strife not only affects Emelec's ability to maneuver in the transfer market but also puts the club's participation in the league at risk if the sanctions are not resolved promptly.

Meanwhile, the situation has also drawn attention to former player Víctor Mendoza, who is reportedly in a difficult personal state and requires assistance. His plight adds a human dimension to the ongoing financial and administrative woes within Ecuadorian football, highlighting the broader implications of these conflicts for players and associated staff. As tensions escalate between the FEF and Liga Pro, the upcoming elections and ongoing financial issues will likely have lasting impacts on the league's stability and reputation in the region.
