Ecuadorian footballer Keny Arroyo has seen a rise in prominence through his performances for the Brazilian club Cruzeiro.

In late August, Arroyo scored his third goal for Cruzeiro during the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals against Atlético Mineiro. Following this period of strong form, his performance in the Brasileirão—specifically a match against Vitória where he recorded one goal and two assists—led to his recall to the Ecuador national team. He was selected for the squad by head coach Marcelo Gallardo ahead of international fixtures against South Korea and Japan.
