How Venezuela arrives

The ‘vinotinto’, which arrives in a clear football evolution, is going through one of the best moments of the last decade as it is one of the revelations of the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Fernando Batista’s team are in fourth position in the World Cup qualifying circuit with 9 units as a result of 2 wins, 3 draws and only 1 defeat. His last appearance was in the 1-1 draw against Peru, at the National Stadium in Lima.

Now to start on the right foot in 2024, the ‘llaneros’ will measure their level against the four-time world champion. “It’s a very good thing to meet the group again and have competition again after the last qualifying date in November,” commented ‘Bocha’ Batista.

How Italy arrives

The ‘azzurri’ are experiencing a favorable context with Luciano Spalletti as strategist, as they are very close to entering Euro 2024 by positioning themselves in second place in Group C, escorting England and Ukraine. Specifically, they have 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in eight games.

However, the main focus is on qualifying for a World Cup, something that he has not achieved since his participation in Brazil 2014. From then on he was unable to earn a ticket to compete in the Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 tournaments.
