The Copa America has a rich history, and with over a century of editions, South America’s premier international tournament is older than both the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships.
The tournament has gone through a number of changes and updates over that period. The early competitions included only four South American nations, but by 1975, ten teams fought it out for the Copa America title.
As of 1993, this has been increased to 12, including two members of CONCACAF, and in 2016, the tournament took place in the United States and saw 16 entrants.

Venezuela vs Mexico Copa America Tournament Record
Venezuela have long been considered the weakest nation in Copa America and their early form in the competition certainly illustrates this. Over the first four decades in the competition, from 1967 to 2007, La Vinotinto managed a grand total of one solitary win, but under head coach Richard Paez took the team to the Quarter-Finals in 2007.
In 2011, they fought their way to the Semi-Finals before losing to Paraguay on penalties, and they did well to reach the Quarter-Finals in both 2016 and 2019 before being dumped out of the competition by Argentina on both occasions.
Mexico made their Copa America bow in 1993 and promptly got to the final where they faced Argentina.
Fiorentina and AS Roma forward Gabriel Batistuta scored twice to help Alfio Basile’s side secure a 2-1 win and the title.
El Tri once again returned to the Copa America Final in 2001, where they lost to Colombia in Bogota by a single goal from centre-back Ivan Cordoba. Mexico reached the Semi-Finals in 2007 but were eliminated in the group stage in both 2011 and 2015 before they got to the last eight in 2016, where they suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat at the hands of Chile.
Venezuela vs Mexico Head-to-Head
Venezuela and Mexico have played each other in three previous Copa America finals tournaments. The first of these came in 1995 when Luis Garcia scored twice in a 3-1 win for the Mexicans.
Four years later, Mexico won by the same score-line, with Blanco scoring twice for the victors. The third clash took place in 2016, with the two sides playing out an even 1-1 draw in Houston.
