Ecuador and Germany meet in their 2026 FIFA World Cup final group stage match on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET from New York New Jersey Stadium.
Ecuador lost to Ivory Coast 0–1 in their opener and drew 0–0 with Curacao in their second match, going into this final group stage match without a win through two matches. Germany beat Curacao 7-1 in their opening 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 32 with a stoppage-time tie against Ivory Coast. Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has been ruled out of the rest of the World Cup due to a left ankle injury sustained during the victory over Ivory Coast.
What is at stake
Germany and Ecuador meet on Thursday at the New York New Jersey Stadium in a Group E match where both teams face very different realities.
Entering the tournament, Ecuador was seen as a team capable of making a deep run in the knockout stages. In World Cup qualification in CONMEBOL’s single-table format, Ecuador finished second, behind only Argentina. Its defense was historically good, conceding just five goals, including just one in the last 11 games.
After two games without a win, Ecuador is looking at a scenario where they have to defeat a powerful German team just to advance.
