Venezuela Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or Copa America Title

Venezuela's story so far

Venezuela are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Best result: Copa America fourth place in 2011; the only CONMEBOL nation to have never qualified for a World Cup.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Venezuela would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Copa America — the top continental honor in the South America (CONMEBOL) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
