Tomorrow, Thursday, June 25, 2026, Ecuador’s national football team will face Germany in a decisive match at MetLife Stadium. Against the backdrop of this historic milestone, the Government of Ecuador will take over New York and New Jersey to show the world that our country is much more than 90 minutes on the field.

As part of our official campaign, “All the World, Only in Ecuador”, we cordially invite you to be part of an exclusive media agenda designed to let you experience the richness of our four worlds (Pacific Coast, Andes, Amazon, and Galápagos) without leaving the city.

We present two major activations. All members of the press are welcome to cover them:

Option 1: Fan Celebration (New Jersey)

The color and passion of Ecuadorian culture just steps away from the stadium.

• What to expect: A spectacular live cultural flash mob featuring professional dancers, the legendary Diablo Huma, and a traditional “picadito” — an interactive neighborhood-style football experience engaging thousands of fans.
• Where: American Dream Mall (Central Stage and Soccer Plaza), East Rutherford, NJ.
• Suggested coverage time: Starting at 1:00 p.m. (The activation will conclude by accompanying fans on their way to MetLife Stadium).

Option 2: Premium Immersive VIP Experience (New York)

A premium, multisensory journey through Ecuador’s unparalleled diversity.

• What to expect: A multisensory tasting of Ecuador’s fine aroma cacao guided by expert Michell Kammoun; a live preparation of traditional Helado de Paila using the heritage technique from Ibarra; a live demonstration of weaving the authentic toquilla straw hat, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity; authentic Ecuadorian cuisine; and a curated exhibition of world-class Ecuadorian export roses.
• Where: Park Terrace Hotel (Branch Rooftop, 6th Floor) – 18 West 40th Street, New York, NY 10018 (next to Bryant Park).
• Event time: Open house starting at 8:00 p.m.

Media and Interview Opportunities: Both events will offer ideal settings for creating high-impact content and photo opportunities with our cultural ambassadors. A dedicated interview schedule will also be available at both events with Ecuador’s Vice Minister of Tourism, María José Reshuan Landívar, along with official representatives of the Ecuador Country Brand.
