Defender Ethan White is anticipating an experience he’ll remember for a lifetime when the team land in Ecuador later today.
The team arrive in Guayaquil on Monday night ahead of Wednesday night’s prestige friendly versus Emelec SC at a sold-out Estadio del Banco Pacifico.
White has never been down to Ecuador before but, like on the trip to Mexico last season, he expects a typically passionate South American atmosphere.
Ethan was on the scoresheet in the preseason opener against Jacksonville University in a 9-0 victory.
The defender told NYCFC.com: “People are happy to be back – we’re looking forward to Ecuador which is somewhere I’ve never been and hopefully it should be a great game and a great atmosphere.
