By the 1950s Guayas, and Pichincha, left behind amateur, and became professional 1951, and 1953 respectfully. By 1957, now ready the FEF began to host professional club competitions nationwide. With the rise of the club competition, Guayas, and Pichinca ended their individual competitions and associate with the FEF, formally creating the Association of Ecuadorian Football.
