Venezuela football team

The Venezuelan soccer team is, since its creation in 1925, the team formed by Venezuelan nationality players representing the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) in the official organized competitions for the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) and the International Football Federation Association (FIFA).

The team is familiarly known as "La Vinotinto", and stands out for being the last of the ten South American teams to form and join. Its debut occurred on February 12, 1938 against Panama in the IV Central American Games and of the Caribbean.

Historically and statistically it has been considered one of the weakest selections of the Continental Confederation. However, since the end of the 20th century a very important football growth began in Venezuela, which has resulted in a notable improvement in its competitiveness and the quality of your game.

The Venezuelan National Team has not played any World Cup - being the only selection of the Confederation that has not classified one. Football World Cup that has never been classified for it - in front of Luxembourg.

As a team affiliated with Conmebol, he has the right to participate in the Copa América - in which he did not participate in his first 28 editions. It is with Ecuador the only selection of the Confederation that has not won the tournament, being its greatest achievement the fourth place achieved in the 2011 edition.

In its regional participations for absolute selections - before they modify the regulations regarding the conditions of the participating teams -, it has managed to obtain several medals in the Bolivarian Games.

Meaning of pseudonyms

The term "vinotinto" refers to the color of the selection shirt. In 1938 a delegation of Venezuelan athletes attended the Bolivarian Games played in Bogotá, so the International Olympic Committee assigned the Burgundy color - also called as "red wine" - for its official uniform; although popular belief says that By joining the yellow, blue, and red colors - Venezuela flag colors - this color is obtained. Since then the Venezuelan football team took this color to dress its players. Although the color of the shirt has been changed in some moments in history - particularly in recent times - the vinotint basketball-.

With the arrival of Richard Páez as coach of the national Páez during the War of Independence of Venezuela - for the performance shown by the team.

HISTORY

In Venezuela there were the first steps in a "amateur" - not organized or professional - just in 1920 - since football was seen by Venezuelans as a sport of foreigners.. In 1925 the National Federation of Soccer to develop football more organized and consistently - for then ten editions of the Copa América had already been played.

On October 5, 1937, the affiliation of the Venezuelan Football League (LVF) was produced to FIFA - the Costa Rican Football Federation served as a sponsor for the affiliation of Venezuela. founded in the late 1930s - although not professionally. This selection played its first international meeting on February 12, 1938 during the IV Central American and Caribbean Games against Panama. The meeting played in Panama City, ended 3: 1 in favor of the local team.

After many institutional problems, the Venezuelan Football Federation was established in 1951 - for then 21 editions of the Copa América and 4 world cups had already been played, without Venezuela having even participated in any. However, the Federation maintained some continuity and formally entered FIFA in 1952 and the South American Football Confederation in 1953. It would be in the late 1960s when Venezuela began its professionalization and would begin to participate for the first time in the different competitions observed by The Conmebol Member Federations, such as the Qualifiers for the 1966 World Cup and the 1967 South American Championship.

The Venezuelan national team debuted in Qualifiers during the 1966 Qualifiers, forming group 1 along with Peru and Uruguay. His first match was on May 16, 1965 against the Peruvian team at the National Stadium of Lima, settled 1: 0 in favor of the premises. A year later, Venezuela debuted in the Copa América, in the 1967 edition held in Uruguay. In turn, the Venezuelan Olympic National Team would participate for the first time in the Pre-Olympic Soccer Tournament, in view of the 1968 City of Mexico Olympic Games.

In 2007, Venezuela hosted for the first time a Copa América edition.

After some bad qualifiers for the 1970 World Cup, the team would be disqualified by FIFA after several internal disputes between the Venezuelan Soccer Federation and the Professional Soccer League of Venezuela. The Venezuelan team would theoretically integrate the elimination group number three along with Peru and Chile, but as the problems persisted between the governing bodies of soccer in the country, FIFA made the determination to separate Venezuela from the qualifying contest for the World Cup to be held in Germany in 1974. However, he was able to play the next edition of the Copa América —disputed without a fixed place in 1975, and where he would get his worst defeat when he fell 11:0 against Argentina.

The return to official competitions took place in 1977, where the team would participate in the qualifiers for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, getting only one point as a result of the draw against Uruguay. From that moment on, Venezuela continued to reap negative results both in the qualifiers and in the Copa América. Everything changed with the arrival of Argentine coach José Omar Pastoriza in 1998.

Venezuela would begin the qualifying rounds for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup with three consecutive defeats and then obtain its third "historic" victory in qualifying rounds against Bolivia, but the historic results began on August 14, 2001. There the national team — which was now led by Richard Páez - defeated Uruguay 2:0 for the first time in its history, and on the following day they defeated Chile 2:0 in Santiago, which meant the first away victory in World Cup qualifiers in their entire history. Then they would beat Peru 3:0, and in the penultimate match they defeated Paraguay 3:1. The successful streak would be ended by Brazil on the last day, winning 3:0. Venezuela would finish in ninth position with 16 points as a result of five victories and a draw —the opposite happened in the 2004 Copa América in Peru, where Venezuela would once again be eliminated in the first round of the tournament.

The selection of Venezuela aligns itself prior to its confrontation with the Centennial American Cup against its similar Uruguay.

During the Qualifiers for Germany 2006, Venezuela had already achieved its best position in the FIFA ranking getting 48. Post in April 2004, it continued to reap historical and important results. They would beat Colombia 1: 0 in Barranquilla and Bolivia by 2: 1, and on March 31 he gave the world surprise when he beat Uruguay in Montevideo by 0: 3 - in what would be called the "centenary" - from There "The Vinotinto" lost air and could not achieve the goal of going to the World Cup - nevertheless managed to erase the impression he had internationally in 2007. In 2007 he organized for the first time a Copa América where he reached the quarter Final. The era of Richard Paéz ended at the beginning of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers after giving up after achieving a 5: 3 victory against Bolivia. Instead César Farías would be presented as a new coach in 2008, and the qualifier ended the qualifier The National Team won 22 points - overpasing Peru and Bolivia in the table. During his stage he also achieved important results such as fourth place in the Copa América 2011.

In 2014 Noel Sanvicente would take care of the national team after the resignation of César Farías, but as a coach had a bad performance where the selection was eliminated in the 2015 Copa América Group phase - something that has not happened since 2004 - and achieved the worst start in qualifiers since 1998. His passage through the National Team ended when he presented his resignation after defeat 4: 1 against Chile in April 2016. Sanvicente was replaced by Manuel Plasencia interimly until the announcement of the Hiring of the International Exporter Rafael Dudamel - who received the national team in the last place of the qualifiers with 1 point in 6 games. Under his command "La Vinotinto" he quickly improved his walk, and in the Copa América Centenario he would reach the quarterfinals after falling 4: 1 against Argentina. During his command he got some victories and draws, but it was not enough to get out of the pit of the classification table in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. Likewise for the Copa América 2019 he would fall again against Argentina in the quarterfinals, this time by marker of 0: 2.

Rafael Dudamel resigned in January 2020 at the same time before starting the qualifiers after problems with the leadership of the Venezuelan Football Federation, instead the Portuguese coach José Saniro was hired. Peseiro did not have them all with him, and That before starting the tie, the selection was "weakened" from the internal - the verification of acts of corruption in the Federation, the intervention of the Venezuelan State, the complaints of the players for awards that were not canceled, as well as the dispute Within the Federation, they made FIFA intervene in September 2020, installing a "normalizing board" in the ability of the Venezuelan Football Federation. Before facing a "complicated" Copa América-whose squad was affected when it was verified that 8 of the 28 players and three members of the coaching staff were infected with COVID-19—, where Venezuela only got two draws in four games and being last last in your group. After the cértamen, Lanseiro announced his resignation for a non -payment issue - where the Federation owed a total of fourteen months of salary.. His replacement was the Argentine coach José Néstor Pékerman, presented on November 30, 2021. With a "virtually" selection, Pékerman would conclude the tie with a victory - 4: 1 over Bolivia - and three losses in a row before Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, thus concluding the worst World Cup qualifier in twenty -four years. "The Vinotinto" barely added 10 points in the competition and ended in the last place of the table - in the 1998 World Cup classification, Venezuela could only accumulate three units.

FACILITIES

Stadium

Unlike some selections of the subcontinent, the Venezuelan team does not have a fixed stadium for its matches. Normally for several decades he played most of his matches at the Olympic Stadium of the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas, which currently has a capacity for 20 900 spectators. The enclosure is the work of the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva and was created especially for the Bolivarian Games of 1951.

of the official meetings that have been played in Venezuela, most of them have been in the city of Caracas, followed by San Cristóbal and Maracaibo.

In recent years - after the remodeling and construction of new stadiums for the Copa América 2007 - the Venezuelan National Team has been rotating at different venues, reaching official matches at the José Antonio Anzoátegui General Stadium in the city of Puerto de Puerto La Cruz, the Total Cachamay entertainment center in Ciudad Guayana, the Metropolitan Stadium of Mérida, and the Agustín Tovar stadium in Barinas.

National High Performance Center

The National High Performance Center is a sports installation that functions as a place of concentration, evaluation, accommodation and preparation of the Venezuelan selected, with a special dressing room for the major selection.

It was inaugurated in 2013 and had the support of public and private companies and institutions for its development.

uniform and shield

For his first international performance at the Central American and Caribbean Games of Panama, the International Olympic Committee assigned to the National Team the "unusual" Burgundy Color - Vinotinto - in its heavy cotton shirt, with a tricolor seal with seven stars On the left side of the chest, emulating the national flag. Since then - and with the exception of some complement and/or designs of the uniform for a few years - the selection has always dressed with this hue, known in Venezuelan jargon as "Vinotinto." This has given rise to the emergence of "the vinotinto" as a pseudonym of the team.

This peculiarity significantly distinguishes the other selections of Conmebol, whose uniforms use colors corresponding to those of their respective flags, and gathers their similar to Germany, Australia, Italy, Japan, New Zealand and the Netherlands, They are known for the same.

The current equipment became known in early 2019, where Venezuela in its U-20 category began to wear the clothing manufactured by the Italian house Givova, after leaving its alliance with the German brand Adidas.
