WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) has confirmed that the players were given free time after their recent win but the governing body has condemned the footage and warned players they face suspension if they repeat the behaviour.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A statement read: "Given the facts of public knowledge, the FEF expresses the following: The official delegation had free time on Friday, March 22, from 2pm to 8.30pm, a schedule that was fully complied with. Images of events contrary to the values <wbr><wbr>and principles that we defend and promote as an institution have been disseminated, which will be the subject of analysis for future calls. We reiterate our commitment to Ecuadorian soccer."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pt" dir="ltr">📍Comunicado oficial <a href="https://t.co/hcXncHFg4b">pic.twitter.com/hcXncHFg4b</a></p>— FEF 🇪🇨 (@FEFecuador) <a href="https://twitter.com/FEFecuador/status/1772425953563566543?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2024</a></blockquote>
