The Venezuela National Team, a rival of Colombia on the last date of the South American Qualifiers towards the United States World Cup, Mexico and Canada 2026, announced on Wednesday the list of 32 players who will face the closure of this qualifying process.

The Vinotinto, directed by the Argentine Fernando “Bocha” Batista, prepares for two high caliber duels that will define their destination for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Their fans are excited with their first classification to the most important selection tournament.

Currently, Venezuela occupies the seventh position in the South American qualifiers, which would give the quota to the repechage. However, its objective is to achieve one of the direct classification places, a feat that seems complicated but not impossible.

The Venezuelan team will face Argentina at the Monumental of Buenos Aires on Thursday, September 4 (6:30 pm), and then close at home, in Maturín, against Colombia on September 9 (6:30 pm). If he loses any of those two, he will have to fight to take care of the seventh place.

Absences and surprises in the call

The Batista coach will have to adjust his strategy without one of his key pieces in the midfield. The most notable absence is Yangel Herrera (Girona-Esp), who was out of the list due to an injury. Its decline represents a hard blow to the tactical scheme of the equipment.

However, the call also brings new faces that inject illusion. The inclusions of striker Kevin Kelsy (Portland Timbers-USA) and the steering wheel Carlos Faya (Deportivo La Guaira-Ven) stand out, who will have the opportunity to show their talent in this decisive phase.

On the Venezuelan payroll there are four players who are part of the Betplay League, the first division of Colombian football: goalkeeper Wuílker Faríñez (golden Águilas), defender Carlos Vivas (La Equidad), the steering wheel Leonardo Flores (Atlético Bucaramanga) and the extreme Jhon Murillo (América de Cali).

The Camino de Colombia and the Regional Panorama

The closing rival for Venezuela, the Colombian team, already knows the players that its next adversaries have convened. The Tricolordirected by Néstor Lorenzo, will first face Bolivia in Barranquilla next Thursday, September 4. The Altiplano team has already presented its payroll of 28 players.

The party between Venezuela and Colombia is emerging as a key duel for both, not only for regional rivalry, but for the aspirations of each in the final stretch of the tie. In the event that the Vinotinto adds points in Buenos Aires, the Maturín Monumental Stadium will be the stage of a match for history.
