The number 10 player of the Colombian women's national team is Leicy Santos, an extraordinary player who knows how to effectively command the Colombian attack. Santos is currently playing for Atlético Madrid femenino of Spain and in the Copa América Femenina she has one goal and two assists. In addition, Leicy Santos is the third player with the most shots in four games played in the tournament, with a total of eight.

Nayely Bolaños is the reference player in the attack of Ecuador's women's national team. The 19-year-old stands out in her position as a center forward and has scored two goals in the current Copa América Femenina. For her opponents, Bolaños represents a constant danger, as she has quick movements that allow her to get unmarked and dominate the ball with great skill.

In total, Ecuador and Colombia have played four matches in the context of the Copa América Femenina. The Colombian national team is undefeated in the record, having won twice and drawn on two other occasions.

Colombia has managed its home advantage very well. The host team of the Copa America Femenina is the undisputed leader of group A with a total of six points. So far, Colombia is undefeated in the Cup and has won its matches with superiority over its rivals. A win against Ecuador could seal qualification to the next round.

Ecuador comes into this match after losing its most recent game against Chile by 2-1. "La Tri" needs to beat Colombia, as a loss would jeopardize its chances of reaching the next round of the championship. Ecuador is currently fourth in Group A with a total of three points.

After three rounds, group A is as follows:

1. Colombia         6 Points
2. Paraguay         6 Points
3. Chile                 3 Points
4. Ecuador           3 Points
5. Bolivia              0 Points
