Ecuador's national team is preparing for an upcoming friendly match against Costa Rica, per jpx.co.jp reports. The match, scheduled for November 13, 2026, will see both teams field strong lineups in a key pre-tournament preparation.

Coach Néstor Lorenzo has finalized the squad, with the team focusing on building competitive form ahead of regional qualifiers, according to athlonsports.com. The game is expected to be held at Quito's national stadium.

Meanwhile, a national ground stop issued by the FAA remains in effect across the United States as of 20:53 UTC, due to an air traffic control communications outage, per Reuters and PBS reports. This advisory runs until 04:00 UTC, affecting all US departures and inbound international flights on a case-by-case basis.

International long-haul flights have resumed departing from US airports after the ground stop, with ABC7 reporting departures at LAX at 00:40 UTC, as the system stabilizes following the communications issue.
