Once the Copa América to be held in the United States ends, the Venezuelan soccer team will have to plan its return to the South American qualifiers towards the World Cup.
Although the Monumental Stadium of Maturín in the state of Monagas has been a venue where the vinotinto team has achieved good results by registering two wins, a draw and zero goals against, the Venezuelan Football Federation has proposed playing in other areas of the country.
After the celebration of the South American Pre-Olympic Tournament in the cities of Caracas and Valencia, the governing body of Venezuelan football has raised the possibility of the Lara Metropolitan Stadium in Cabudare hosting some Vinotinto matches.
Jorge Giménez, president of the Venezuelan Football Federation, states that said venue “is in the process” of recovery, which has taken longer than expected to the point of canceling its status as host of the Final Phase of the Pre-Olympic.
However, he also states that it is expected that, within 20 or 25 days, “the most beautiful stadium in the country”, as the boss calls the former home of Deportivo Lara, would be available and complying with Conmebol’s conditions to host matches. international.
“We have a stadium of 44 thousand people that the Copa América left us, which was very important to recover. It’s a shame that the Final Phase of the Pre-Olympic could not be played,” says Giménez, who also states that the Metropolitano will have “a relaunch” in the face of the qualifiers heading to the United States-Mexico-Canada 2026.
Venezuela will play three games at home corresponding to the pre-World Cup matches, with its opponents being the teams of Uruguay in September, Argentina in October and Brazil in November.
