context_page_description: The Copa América is South America's major tournament in senior men's soccer and determines the continental champion. Until 1967, the tournament was known as South American Championship. It is the oldest continental championship in the world.
  Ecuador are one of only two CONMEBOL members who have never won a continental title, the other one being Venezuela. Both teams have never even placed in the top three.
  With six goals in 1963, Carlos Alberto Raffo became that tournament's top scorer and the only Ecuadorian to ever receive an individual award at a continental championship. In spite of Raffo's goals, however, Ecuador only placed sixth out of seven nations that year.
context_section_description: Álex Aguinaga took part in eight Copa Américas. The only other player with that number of tournaments is Uruguayan striker Ángel Romano who competed in a time when the continental championship was held annually.
caption: Álex Aguinaga's (here as team coach in 2015) international career spanned 17 years.
