This Thursday, November 14, La Vinotinto has a nice challenge with its history and, above all, with the urgency shown by its location in the standings of the World Cup qualifiers for the 2026 edition, to be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The Creoles return to action in the World Cup, precisely, against one of the most complicated teams on the continent, which is none other than Brazil, which has an extensive track record in its favor.
The duel between Venezuelans and Cariocas will have the Monumental Stadium of Maturín as its epicenter, corresponding to matchday 11 of the qualifiers, while Venezuela has the need to add units because it is – right now – outside the boxes that give a ticket to the World Cup .
Maturín begins to fill with support for Vinotinto
With this previous context we come to the duel with great expectations and in which a full house is expected at the Maturín venue for the national team fan, who was summoned to support those led by Fernando “Bocha” Batista.
A large number of people are already beginning to gather at the stadium entrances for a match that is scheduled to start at 5:00 pm.
As another relevant fact of the previous one, important support is expected, also tied to the fact that the Creoles still do not know the bitter pill of defeat playing in knockouts at the Monumental, with a balance of two victories (Paraguay and Chile) and three draws ( Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay).
This time we will have to wait to see if the Vinotinto can remain undefeated in this venue, which has been ratified as the home of the team day after day as a result of the work of the Venezuelan team to avoid setbacks on Venezuelan soil.
