Sebastián Roldán, President of the Ecuadorian Federation, announced, “We are excited to be part of the IF3. Ecuador is a country with a strong passion regarding functional fitness and in recent years, a demand has risen for an organization which governs the movement we are all part of exponentially. We have decided to be part of IF3 because we believe in it. This is a great step for the future of the sport in Ecuador to participate along top athletes from around the world”.
He went on to explain that, “We are hoping to grow fast in Ecuador and to select the athletes, who will represent Ecuador in the IF3 Continental Cup this year. We know that our athletes here in Ecuador are more than capable of competing alongside some of the best from this region.”
