Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito (LDU) has undergone institutional and roster changes. The club’s director, Geovanny Paredes, announced that transitioning to a ‘Sociedad Anónima Deportiva’ (Sports Corporation) model is not a viable option for the institution following legal consultations.

In terms of squad management, the club has moved to strengthen its lineup for competitions such as the Copa Libertadores. Following the departure of Paraguayan player Rodney Redes, the club signed Argentine footballer Lucas Rodríguez as a free agent. Rodríguez, who previously played in Mexico, arrived in Quito to undergo medical examinations and integrate with the squad.
