Built for the fan

Balonec is a sports newsroom born in Ecuador, designed to an international standard.

Our mission

Tell Ecuadorian football with rigor, context and respect for the stands. No empty noise: data, voices, and the emotion only a fan understands.

We edit for the person who buys the ticket, travels in the shirt, and wakes at 4 a.m. for a match in Asia.

Spanish and English, Ecuador kickoff times, and context for the diaspora in the US, Spain and Italy.

Clear sourcing, verified tables, and analysis that still holds after the final whistle.
