Will Venezuela qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup?

[mcdouglasx]

Venezuela is currently in a playoff position, with four matches remaining in the qualifiers and a high probability of winning their next match on June 6 against Bolivia.

This gives them a sense of hope as they aim for their first-ever participation in a FIFA World Cup.

What are the chances that Venezuela secures a direct qualification spot?

What are the probabilities of qualifying through the playoffs? Or do you think Venezuela will not make it to this event?

[Hispo]

I am from Venezuelan, and as Venezuelan I am quite skeptical on our actual chances to get to participate on the World Cup which is coming. Historically, we have always under-performed when compared to other teams of the continent, so I rather to be skeptical and keep expectations up and then suffer some disappointment from my national team.
Though, I admit, if we manage to get to play on the world cup I don't think we will able to endure much time or many matches before getting eliminated. I am skeptical, not pessimistic, all of it being base on our previous experienced with our struggles to get to participate in former world cups.

If they manage to qualify, it would already be a milestone. I don't think they would go much further than that, but I guess it would be great to see Venezuela in a World Cup. Without a doubt, it would help promote football in the country for the future.

After 14 matches, its easy to say, Venezuela is not among the top 6 teams in CONMEBOL. I don't see their chances of direct qualification from here. But on playoffs, they would have greater chance. As far as I know, there would be no European teams in playoffs and  Venezuela could dominate against Asian and African teams.
But even though they qualify, I'm in doubt that US would allow them to play on their grounds. US is infamous for rejecting players Visa. With Trump in power, the risks would be thinkable.

With the remaining 4 games to be qualify for FIFA world, Venezuela stand a chance although not much a chance and just as you Said you are skeptical on their ability to win all the four matches to get the the qualifying tickets it clear right now that either improve so much in their playing since among the four team facing them there are few countries that have better chance of winning than Venezuela and will put in every effort at winning their own match so I agree with the guy from Venezuela that mentioned his skepticalism.

Though checking from the table, you are far below the top best but there's always a chance of getting qualified even though they don't go far, anything can happen with football because we can't predict the aftermath, to me, insee being qualified as an added advantage to push more forward this season or even next by having the hope of getting more closer to more chances of the finals, so for now, you can still develop more confidence in Venezuela.

Venezuela is not an elite football team, but it is underrated. It holds the 47th spot in the FIFA rankings, and its qualifying group is one of the most competitive in the world. For my taste, it is the most intense and challenging qualification group globally, which makes the team seem weaker than it actually is.

[Slow death]

I don't know if they will qualify or not, but something that I believe has a greater chance of happening is that they will lose in the game against Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. So if they don't manage to win in the game against Colombia, then they will be in the worst situation, they will not qualify. I want to leave you with a very important fact about Venezuela vs Colombia:

In the last 5 games in which these two teams faced each other, Venezuela was unable to beat Colombia.

So it's safe to say that Venezuela has a good chance of losing against Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. Now about Bolivia, they have some chance, in the last 4 games they played against Bolivia, they managed to win in 2 games

If matches and statistics from five years ago represented reality, then Colombia would be better than Argentina, since in its last matches against Venezuela, Argentina won 3, lost 1, and drew 1.

Additionally, in recent matches against the top teams in the group Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, Venezuela has managed to secure a draw.

That is why I maintain that Venezuela is underrated.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Bro, I'm going to tell you properly, they have to beat Bolivia, if they don't beat Bolivia, Venezuela is not going to go, it's that simple, in fact Venezuela should beat Bolivia and the way things are right now Venezuela can even beat Uruguay, if they can, you could say they have the material, if they lose against Bolivia morale drops, the players will not play the same, they have the stars to do it and let's see if Rondon finally shows his mettle because he scores goals for Pachuca and Telasco Segovia scores with Messi's Inter, it's time they did something for the national team, in my personal opinion I would say that I am very positive and even if they have to go to the playoffs Venezuela should qualify.

If this were my country's team, this is the exact response I will also give.

I have learned to have zero faith in them. So many times they have broken my heart when I put all my trust and confidence in them to deliver. They will end up having a very disappointing outing. It is now better for me to have a low expectation of them and they surprise than to have a high expectation and they do me dirty.

As for your country team, if you as a Venezuelan  think this way, then who am I to think the other way. You know them better than we do.

[Jewan420]

No, Venezuela's chances are very slim. After 14 matches, they still have a 5-point gap with Colombia, who are in sixth place. They may not even be able to get 20 points in the next 4 matches. Because the next 4 matches will be against Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Bolivia. Although they may have a chance of winning against Bolivia, no one would say that Venezuela can win against the remaining 3 teams. It is absolutely impossible for them to get a place in the top 6 after 14 matches. So it may not be possible for them to get a place in the World Cup.

Venezuela's chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is very slim, they had a rough start but things are slightly working in line for them but it is still a very challenging one for them since they are still in 7th place. Six teams secure direct entry to the World Cup, while the 7th-placed team advances to an inter-confederation playoff.

It's a good bet, the odds must be high
First of all, I invite everyone to participate in the South American qualifiers thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465893.msg65421319#msg65421319

Talking about Venezuela, at the start of the qualifiers, the team started VERY well and was the best surprise of all, I liked it a lot, the team was very good and playing well
They managed to draw twice with Brazil, once with Argentina and once with Uruguay, which is incredible so far

However, from the 6th or 7th round onwards, the team went downhill, losing 4x0 to Bolivia

Venezuela's next four games are extremely tough: Bolivia, who they lost to 4x0, Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia


I'm pretty sure they won't qualify directly, as Colombia have 5 points more, so the fight will be between Venezuela and Bolivia

I believe there is a topic for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in this board, this topic should be there and not a topic of its own.
There is even a topic for South American 2026 FIFA world cup qualification.

I believe there is a topic for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in this board, this topic should be there and not a topic of its own.
There is even a topic for South American 2026 FIFA world cup qualification.

I'm aware of the topics surrounding the 2026 World Cup, but I chose to address this topic separately because it has its own background, and I wanted to dedicate a specific thread to it.

Here, topics are opened for discussion, even just to tell the time (I'm exaggerating), but I think you understand why I say this. If not, take a look.

So, why should this topic be encapsulated in a comment under another thread?

My intention is to focus it on the nation where I grew up and have it as a debate about what could happen in the future.

I mean, football is already a quite popular sport here and it is definitely the most practiced sport here among the youth, so I don't think there would be much of a difference in the long term of our country managed to get into the ranks of the World Cup.
On the other hand, of we somehow managed to win the world cup, it would be a game charger on how football is perceived here in this country and it would inspire a whole new generation of people to become professional football players. Though, that would be dreaming too high, as the chances for us to become the champions of the world are incredibly slim.

[Felicity_Tide]

When I first saw the title of the thread, I immediately started thinking what continent is Venezuela located, until I saw the other countries that are also participating for the world cup qualification. I'm not sure if I've watched any of their games, but seeing that they are currently above peru and Chile is quite impressive. I can't certainly say that they will qualify judging by the games left. Playing against Argentina and Uruguay is going to be a tough one, and I don't think they will be getting any point from that. But they might win the Bolivia game, and draw to Colombia, because Colombia hasn't being performing great. A first time world cup qualification isn't bad at all, so all the best.

They have very slim chance of qualifying to the world cup based on the limited matches. I will not be surprised if they don't make it because their performance has been very poor in football.

 However, it will be lovely for Venezuela citizens to see themselves in the world cup because it will be a motivate the players of having the hope to do better and improve their performance in football, since it is like a dream coming true.

What are the chances that Venezuela secures a direct qualification spot?

If we talk about facts, Yes, can be seen Venezuela in history can be said they have never qualified for the FIFA World CupBut that cannot be underestimated and not closed Venezuelan can be wrongh One country in a change in 2026, see victory 1-0 Peru falls on the basis of that Venezuela was likely to be able to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.

Only only one step qualifying round for Venezuela to defeat Argentina if they succeeded in Venezuela's dream come true to appear in the FIFA World Cup finals will prove that history will change for the first time for Venezuela.
