Goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez has reached significant milestones during his tenure with the Argentine club Huracán. In August 2026, the club honored the naturalized Ecuadorian international for reaching his 100th appearance at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium.

Following a standout performance in a 2-1 victory over River Plate, where he made a crucial save on a free kick by Ángel Correa, Galíndez confirmed his availability to return to the Ecuador national team. His teammate, Jordy Caicedo, noted that playing in the Argentine league was a strategic move to increase chances of national team competition.

Galíndez later clarified his stance regarding his international future ahead of a friendly match against South Korea. He explained that his previous indications of retirement following Ecuador’s World Cup elimination by Mexico were made in a “moment of anger and sadness.” After reflecting and consulting with his family, he expressed gratitude to head coach Marcelo Gallardo and stated he is willing to serve the team in any capacity, whether as a starter or a substitute. He described being part of the new cycle as a “privilege” that brings him “hope and enthusiasm.”
