Eduardo Moscoso discusses his journey and strategies as head coach of Ecuador’s under-20 women’s soccer team in preparation for the upcoming World Cup.
Eduardo Moscoso, the head coach of Ecuador's under-20 women's soccer team, recently shared insights about his career and approach to building a successful team in an exclusive interview with El Universo. At 46 years old and originally from Riobamba, Moscoso has dedicated himself to developing female soccer players, emphasizing values that empower the sport. His commitment has led to an impressive record, with seven qualifications for World Cups across various categories of the Ecuadorian national teams.
Moscoso's passion for soccer began in his childhood, where he played for the Chimborazo selection.

This shift not only allowed him to use his knowledge to train players but also to instill a sense of discipline, teamwork, and resilience, essential for competing on an international level.
Now, with the Women’s World Cup in Poland on the horizon, Moscoso's focus is on creating a cohesive and competitive team.
