After competing at the Copa America in the summer, Bolivia and Venezuela will resume 2026 World Cup qualifying when they face off at Estadio Municipal El Alto on Thursday.

Bolivia:

Bolivia resumes their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign against Venezuela at Estadio Municipal El Alto on Thursday. After a disappointing Copa America where they failed to advance past the group stage, Bolivia, now managed by Oscar Villegas, sits ninth in the qualifying standings with just three points. Their campaign has been challenging, with only one win against Peru and five defeats to top teams like Brazil and Argentina. The task for Villegas is to steer Bolivia to their first World Cup finals since 1994, but the road ahead is tough given their current form.

Venezuela:

Venezuela, in contrast, enjoyed a successful Copa America, reaching the knockout stages before a quarter-final penalty shootout loss to Canada. They currently sit fourth in the World Cup qualifying table with nine points from six matches. Under Fernando Batista, La Vinotinto has shown resilience by recovering from an early defeat to Colombia and securing points in subsequent matches. Despite a promising start, they are yet to end a 12-game winless streak away from home in World Cup qualifiers. The upcoming clash with Bolivia is crucial for their bid to qualify for their first-ever World Cup finals.
