The scheduled match was the beginning of the qualifying process for the World Cup Brazil 2026, in what would be the first historic participation of the Venezuelan team in an orbital event.

The Nations League is played in a round-robin format, with nine rounds and unique matches. Each date includes four matches, while one selection is left free. Brazil is not participating in this phase because it has secured its qualification as host.
