Venezuela Copa America

Copa America 2024

The Venezuela Copa America team holds a unique position within CONMEBOL, being the sole team from the region that has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup. Despite this, they have made their presence felt in Copa America, participating 19 times since their debut in 1967, although they are yet to secure a tournament victory. The squad's standout performance came in the 2011 Copa America.

In contrast to the lack of World Cup success, Venezuela's national football team has been a consistent participant in Copa America history. While they have not experienced any golden periods on the grand stages of the World Cup or Copa America, the team has showcased resilience and determination on the field. Currently ranked 55th in the FIFA world rankings, the Venezuelan men's soccer team, established in 1938, has faced the challenges of being considered one of South America's weaker teams.

For the Copa America 2024, the team will see Fernando Batista take on the role of head coach. The 48th edition of this prestigious international men's soccer championship is set to be postponed due to scheduling conflicts with another major tournament, with the new dates slated from June 14, 2024, to the end of July 14, 2024. Despite historical challenges, Venezuela's national football team, under Batista's guidance, will strive to make an impact and forge a new chapter in their soccer journey.
