The 2024 Copa Ecuador (officially known as the Copa Ecuador DirecTV PlayGreen 2024 for sponsorship purposes)[1] is the third edition of the Copa Ecuador, Ecuador's domestic football cup. It began on 19 June 2024 and is scheduled to end with the single-match final on 27 November 2024. The winners will qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores.

Independiente del Valle are the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the competition in 2022.

Format

[edit]

For this season, the competition is played as a single knockout tournament, unlike the previous season in which a semifinal group was implemented, and was divided into four stages. The first of those four stages was a qualifying one which was intended to be played by four teams: the two worst placed Segunda Categoría teams in the previous season and the amateur runner-up and third-placed teams, but this round eventually only involved one Segunda Categoría team and an amateur one. The qualifying stage winners advanced to the first stage, in which the 10 Ecuadorian Serie B teams, the remaining Segunda Categoría ones and the amateur champions entered the competition.

The 16 Ecuadorian Serie A teams joined the competition in the second stage, comprising the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, whilst the third stage will be the final match between the two semi-final winners.[2] All rounds in the competition except for the semi-finals will be played over a single leg, which will be hosted by the team from the lower tier or the worst placed team in the season's aggregate table if both teams are from the same league. The semi-finals will be played over two legs.[3]

Prizes

[edit]

The champions of this edition (or the runners-up, if the champions have already qualified) will qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores, taking the Ecuador 4 berth in that competition, as well as the 2025 Supercopa Ecuador against the 2024 Ecuadorian Serie A champions.[4] Monetary prizes will also be granted for this edition, with the champions being awarded US$340,000 and the runners-up receiving US$200,000. The two losing semi-finalists will be awarded US$80,000, the quarter-finalists will receive US$50,000, whilst teams eliminated in the round of 16, first round and eliminatory stage will be awarded US$30,000, US$20,000 and US$10,000, respectively.[2]

Notes
  1. ^
