National Women's Football Day in Ecuador is celebrated annually on March 7, aiming to bolster support for the country's female football players and enhance their development with an eye towards achieving elite status. This observance was officially recognized by the National Assembly of Ecuador in 2019, reflecting a commitment to acknowledging the contributions of women in sports and fostering their participation in football.

The legislation, which received unanimous approval in the assembly, is intended to combat discrimination faced by women in the sporting arena. Since 2014, Ecuador's women's football has witnessed a remarkable and steady rise, highlighted by the national team’s historic qualification for the Women's World Cup in Canada in 2015. Such achievements have sparked increased interest and support for women's football across the country, demonstrating the potential and talent of female athletes.

Moreover, the establishment of the Women's Super League in Ecuador in 2019 by the Ecuadorian Football Federation represents a significant step forward in professionalizing women's football and increasing visibility for female athletes. This day serves not only to celebrate the strides made thus far in women's football but also to encourage further investment and attention to promote equality and opportunities for women in sports throughout Ecuador.
