highly rated SPORTS IN ECUADOR

Concerning Sports in Ecuador, there is a lot to say about. Haske tells us about his experiences in Quito.
“Ever since I was a little kid, I have loved watching and participating in sports. Several times per week I used to play soccer with my friends and basically whoever was feeling like joining. Now that I am living here in Ecuador, I found out that Ecuador’s most favorite sport is soccer. The second favorite sport? Soccer, again.

The highest league of Ecuador, the Serie A, holds five different clubs from Quito: Aucas, Deportivo Quito, El Nacional, LDU Quito, and Universidad Católica. These clubs play in 3 different stadiums, of which one is shared by three different clubs, the Estadio Atahualpa. Going to this stadium on a match day could be a long one for the visitors. Often, one of the teams plays at 10 o’clock in the morning and the next game starts at 1.30 pm. This gives ‘us’ the possibility to watch two different games by purchasing only one ticket.
These tickets can be purchased on the day of the match. You can just go to the stadium and buy your tickets for that day’s match from the people that are wearing the colorful jackets. Please note that the tickets usually don’t hold a seat number, which means that there is a ‘first come, first serve’ policy in the stadium.
