Possible reduction of clubs in Serie A will be decided in extraordinary FEF congress at the end of April

The potential reduction of teams in Ecuador's Serie A will be discussed in an extraordinary congress of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) at the end of April, following inconclusive resolutions in the ordinary congress.

The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) held its ordinary congress without reaching a definitive resolution regarding the potential reduction of teams in Serie A. According to the FEF's Secretary General, NicolΓ‘s Solines, the matter will be further discussed in an extraordinary congress that is scheduled for the end of April. He emphasized the need for club representatives to come together to make informed decisions regarding the future structure of the leagues.

The proposal under consideration suggests reducing the number of teams in Serie A from the current total to twelve, while expanding Serie B to accommodate sixteen teams, marking a significant shift in the organizational framework of Ecuadorian football. This proposed structural change has sparked considerable debate among club executives and stakeholders within the league. The discussion has raised questions about the potential impacts on competition, financial viability, and the overall health of Ecuadorian football.

As representatives prepare for the extraordinary congress, the general sentiment amongst stakeholders remains contemplative, with calls for a unity of purpose to navigate the challenges posed by such a drastic change. Solines indicated that it is crucial for clubs to gather and analyze necessary information before reaching a consensus, suggesting that the outcome of the extraordinary meeting could shape the future of both Serie A and Serie B in Ecuador.
