It's a new Liga Pro campaign and LDU Quito are eager to get started here at Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria. El Nacional are coming to visit and this should be a thrilling season kickoff.

It's no vacation for neither Quito nor El Nacional as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
