He soon became a regular starter, and scored his first goals on 25 August by netting a brace in a 4–2 home defeat of El Nacional.[5]
On 4 May 2017, Preciado was called up to Ecuador under-20s for the year's FIFA U-20 World Cup,[6] On 30 August of the following year, he was called up to the full side by manager Hernán Darío Gómez, for two friendlies against Jamaica and Guatemala.[7]
