Emelec has publicly stated its position regarding the upcoming discussion in the Congress of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) about the potential reduction of teams in Serie A. The club's president, José David Jiménez, indicated that the idea of having 12 teams in Serie A and 16 in Serie B is appealing. He noted that while Emelec supports this idea, it is essential to establish a clear plan for implementing such changes and how the transition would occur.

Jiménez's comments reveal a willingness from Emelec to endorse a restructuring of the league format, reflecting a desire for a more streamlined and compact tournament structure similar to what existed a decade ago. This sentiment comes amid ongoing discussions in Ecuadorian football about improving the competitiveness and sustainability of the league, which has faced challenges in recent years.

As the Congress convenes to debate this significant change, the decision has implications for the future of Ecuadorian football. If the clubs agree to a reduction in teams, it could enhance the quality of matches and player development while also potentially securing better financial stability for the clubs involved. However, the lack of a detailed transitional plan remains a concern that needs to be addressed before any changes can be finalized.
