Ecuador and Germany will face off in their final group stage match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 4 p.m. ET from New York New Jersey Stadium.
Ecuador lost to Ivory Coast 0–1 in their first match and drew 0–0 against Curaçao in their second match, entering this final group stage match without a win in two matches. Germany beat Curaçao 7-1 in their first match and beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in their second match, with Deniz Undav scoring three times in the tournament so far, sealing Germany’s place in the round of 16 with a stoppage-time brace against Ivory Coast. Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has been ruled out of the rest of the World Cup due to a left ankle injury suffered in the win over Ivory Coast.
What are the issues
Germany and Ecuador meet on Thursday at New York New Jersey Stadium in a Group E match where the two teams face very different realities.
Coming into the tournament, Ecuador was seen as a team capable of making a deep run into the round of 16. In qualifying for the World Cup under CONMEBOL’s single table format, Ecuador finished second, just behind Argentina. Their defense has been historically good as they have only conceded five goals, including just one in their last 11 games.
After two games without a win, Ecuador is considering a scenario in which they must defeat a powerful German team just to advance.
