Two surprising stories in the battle for a place in the 2024 Copa America semi-finals when Venezuela and Canada meet at AT&T Stadium on Friday.
La Vinotinto surprised by finishing first in Group B with nine points, capping their group stage with a 3-0 win over Jamaica. Canada, meanwhile, finished second in Group A after drawing 0-0 with Chile and ensuring they overtook 2026 World Cup co-hosts the United States by reaching the knockout stage.
Under the calming influence of Fernando Batista, Venezuela have shown tremendous defensive stability, conceding just one goal in their last four games in all competitions. They are looking to reach the semi-finals of this competition for the first time in 13 years.
Meanwhile, Canada has already made history by reaching this stage of the finals. Reaching the finals would be a remarkable achievement.

1 hour before the start: Venezuela has been in great form lately between World Cup qualifying in South America, friendly matches, and the Copa America since last September. And that great form continues in the U.S. According to Opta, Venezuela has six wins and just two losses in its last 10 games on American soil. This includes a 3-0 win for Venezuela against the United States in Cincinnati, Ohio, in June 2019.
2/10 – Venezuela has lost just two of its last 10 games on U.S. soil in all competitions and friendlies, having won six of those matches (2 D). Comfortable.

1 hour and 5 minutes before the start: The intense heat that has hit the United States over the past month has been a recurring theme at this tournament and FIFA will have to address it when the World Cup begins in 2026. But that won’t be an issue tonight. AT&T Stadium in suburban Dallas-Fort Worth is an indoor stadium, so it will be climate-controlled and a much better environment to play in.
1 hour and 20 minutes before the start: The bookmakers have Venezuela as slight favorites, but both Venezuela and Canada have positive odds for the match, showing how close this matchup is. Venezuela scored six goals in the group stage, while Canada allowed just two goals, including two clean sheets. So it will be an electric offense against one of the most solid defenses in the Copa America.
1 hour and 40 minutes before the start: Aside from the great story of these two teams making it to the quarter-finals, the main story is the injury-stricken absence of Canadian right-back Tajon Buchanan. The 25-year-old suffered a broken leg in training earlier this week and, although he has not started the last two games, he has been a key player for Canada coming off the bench, providing speed, attacking ability and experience. With Buchanan unavailable, we could see coach Jesse Marsch come off the bench with 18-year-old Anglo-Canadian Luc de Fougerolles.
2 hours before the start: Welcome to The Jugo Mobile’ live coverage of this 2024 Copa America quarter-final between Canada and Venezuela.
