High hopes for Venezuela at Copa América 2024 after a wonderful start in World Cup Qualifiers

SEATTLE - Copa América 2024 will be the perfect opportunity for Venezuela to show the entire continent the progress they have made over the last 12 months or so. 'La Vinotinto' started off the 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers with three wins out of their first six games, the same amount of wins they got in all of the 2022 qualifying cycle (3-14-1 W-L-D).

Venezuela has looked rejuvenated ever since Fernando Batista took charge of the national team in March of 2023. His first game at the helm was a 2-1 victory over Saudi Arabia and since then, Venezuela has gotten a few good results along the way like a draw on the road against Brazil and a 3-0 win over Chile last October.
