The All Whites will play their final game of 2025 against unfamiliar opposition in an unfamiliar venue.
World No. 85 New Zealand have never played the world No. 23 Ecuador.
While the South Americans will feel at home in Sports Illustrated Stadium, after playing there 11 times, the NZ squad will play for the first time at the venue that hosts Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.
Both teams have already qualified for next year’s Football World Cup and come into this game after playing friendlies last week – the All Whites faced Colombia and Ecuador took on Canada.
Kick-off is at 2.30pm.
