The Venezuela national team faces its counterpart Canada at four in the morning on Saturday at the AT&T Stadium as part of the quarterfinal matches of the Copa America 2024 currently held in the United States and continuing until July 15.

Saturday's match is the first officially between Venezuela and Canada, as it is the latter's first participation in the tournament in its history. However, the teams met in two friendly matches in 2007 and 2010, with the first ending in a 2-2 draw, and the second in a 1-1 draw.

The Venezuela national team qualified for the quarterfinal match after topping Group B with 9 points earned from victories over Ecuador 2-1, Mexico 1-0, and Jamaica 3-0. The players of the Venezuela national team scored 6 goals and conceded 1 goal in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Canada advanced after finishing second in Group A with 4 points from 3 matches, losing the first against Argentina 2-0, winning against Peru in the second with a score of 1-0, and drawing in the third match with Chile in a goalless draw.

The quarterfinal matches of Copa America 2024 will continue early tomorrow, Sunday, with matches between Colombia and Canada, and Brazil and Uruguay in what is the toughest match of this round.
