Moisés Ramírez is called up to the Tri for FIFA dates against Morocco and the Netherlands

Moisés Ramírez has been called up to the Ecuador national football team for upcoming FIFA dates against Morocco and the Netherlands.

Ecuadorian goalkeeper Moisés Ramírez has received a call-up to join the national team, La Tri, for two upcoming friendlies against Morocco and the Netherlands in March. His club, Kifisia FC, confirmed his selection. At 25, Ramírez has been a consistent part of coach Sebastián Beccacece's roster, although he has yet to see any minutes on the pitch during Beccacece's tenure. Last playing for the national team in a 0-0 draw against Colombia in October 2023, where he saved a penalty, he has remained an unused substitute in recent qualifiers and friendly matches.

Following his departure from Independiente del Valle, Ramírez has been playing in the Greek league with Kifisia FC, where he has competed in a total of 21 matches across league and cup competitions, conceding 31 goals and keeping four clean sheets. The coaching staff appears intent on maintaining a strong goalkeeper rotation, as Ramírez will likely be one of three goalkeepers alongside Hernán Galíndez and Gonzalo Valle for the upcoming matches. These friendly games are important for team cohesion and preparation as Ecuador looks ahead to future competitions, possibly including World Cup qualifiers.

This call-up reflects Ramírez's growing reputation and potential within the national team setup, even as his playing time at the club level remains an area for development. With the experience gained from playing in Greece, he could provide valuable skills for La Tri as they prepare for international challenges, enhancing the team's depth in the goalkeeper position with a variety of styles and strengths.
