Francisco Egas has been reelected as president of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) for the term 2027-2031 with nearly 93% support from the federation's congress. In his acceptance, Egas expressed his gratitude for the confidence placed in him by Ecuadorian football and recognized the importance of the upcoming year, which includes the World Cup. He conveyed a message of inclusion, inviting sectors that have been absent from discussions to join the effort in leading Ecuadorian football.

Assuming the presidency with humility, Egas highlighted the substantial responsibility that comes with his new term. He emphasized the need to give back for the trust shown by the vast majority of Ecuadorian football stakeholders. His reelection reflects a continuation of the leadership style he has embodied, focusing on stability and strategic planning ahead of the major event that is the World Cup.

Egas's leadership will be crucial not only for the preparations for the upcoming World Cup but also for the overall development of football in Ecuador. His call for unity is seen as a vital step towards fostering collaboration among various sectors within the football community, potentially leading to a more inclusive and stronger football culture in the country. This context is particularly important as Ecuador prepares to make its mark on the global stage during the upcoming tournament.
