Argentina vs Venezuela Copa America Tournament Record
Argentina hosted the first Copa America and went on to win an astonishing 12 titles by 1959 but experienced a surprising loss of form in the competition in the 1970s and 80s, despite the fact that La Albiceleste were happily winning FIFA World Cup crowns in this period, which perhaps goes some way to illustrating the quality in the competition.
They clinched back-to-back titles in 1991 and 1993 to end a 32-year wait for silverware, only to then go another 28 years without a championship after those successes.
In the latter drought, Argentina managed to win four Copa America Finals between 2004 and 2016. The first two came at the hands of arch-rivals Brazil but their losses in 2015 and 2016 were perhaps even harder to stomach.
Those losses both came in penalty shoot-outs and both to Chile, a nation that Argentina would have expected to overcome, not least with FC Barcelona legend Lionel Messi firing on all cylinders.
Their run of final failures ended in 2021 when a 1-0 win, clinched thanks to a goal from Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria, saw off Brazil to give Argentina their 15th title and Messi his first.
Venezuela were long considered the Copa America whipping boys, and their record in the tournament, especially in their earlier appearances, was truly appalling.
La Vinotinto first appeared in the tournament in 1967, and they picked up one win from their five games before they then went on an astonishing run of abysmal form.
Between 1975 and 2004, Venezuela somehow contrived to fail to win a single match in the Copa America.
That was a run of 40 games, which came to an end in 2007 when they actually reached the Quarter-Finals, no doubt taking advantage of home support as they hosted that edition of the tournament.
In 2011 they even got to the Semi-Finals with the likes of one-time Newcastle United forward Salomon Rondon and Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Juan Arango making a positive impact, and in both 2016 and 2019, they got out of their group, showing a marked improvement in consistency that is all the more impressive when compared to their earlier record.
Argentina vs Venezuela Head-to-Head
On the whole, fixtures in the Copa America between Argentina and Venezuela have gone in one direction.
To date, the two teams have met six times in the competition, with Argentina winning every match. In 1975 they handed out an incredible 11-0 thrashing but contested more recently have been a little closer.
At the 2016 Copa America, the two sides played in the Quarter-Final in the United States, with Gonzalo Higuain scoring twice in a comfortable 4-1 success.
At the same stage in 2019, Argentina triumphed 2-0, this time in Rio.
