The Copa America quarterfinals pit Venezuela against Canada in Arlington, Texas on Friday for a spot in the last four, where they will face either Argentina or Ecuador.
Canada, with only two World Cup appearances and no points to show, have already made a mark by reaching the knockout stage in their maiden Copa America campaign.
Venezuela, historically absent from the World Cup and rarely advancing beyond the Copa America quarterfinals, are now eyeing a breakthrough into the semifinals. They’ve shown significant improvement in recent decades and are just one victory away from a potential clash with Argentina.
Could they go all the way? With defeats limited to Colombia and Italy in the past year, Venezuela’s form suggests they have a shot at further glory in this tournament.
Both teams enter this match with their own historic milestones at stake, promising an intriguing battle in Arlington, Texas.

Canada vs. Venezuela lineups & team news
Canada faces a significant setback with Tajon Buchanan unavailable due to a broken tibia, which required surgery. Ismael Kone, who recently signed with Ligue 1 side Marseille, is likely to return to the lineup after sitting out the final group match.
Jonathan David, who scored Canada’s only goal in the group stage, continues to be a crucial player for the Canucks. Goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau will look to maintain his impressive form, having posted consecutive clean sheets.
Canada projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Crepeau (GK) — Johnston, Bombito, Cornelius, Davies — Kone, Eustaquio — Ahmed, David, Laryea — Larin.
Venezuela will be without Darwin Machis, who received a second booking on matchday three. Nahuel Ferraresi and Miguel Navarro should return to the starting lineup after being kept off the field against Jamaica to avoid further yellow cards.
Yeferson Soteldo is expected to reclaim his place in midfield, replacing Machis. Jefferson Savarino and Cristian Casseres are also pushing for spots in the starting eleven as attacking midfielders.
Salomon Rondon, Venezuela’s record goalscorer, will aim to add to his tally after notching his second goal of the competition against Jamaica. Eduard Bello and Eric Ramirez, who both found the net on matchday three, are also key attacking options for La Vinotinto.
Venezuela projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Romo (GK) — Aramburu, Ferraresi, Y. Osorio, Navarro — Martinez, Herrera — Bello, Casseres, Soteldo — Rondon.
