Venezuela are the weakest of the 10 South American countries, but this is hardly surprising because the national sport is baseball. Originally memeber of CONCACAF, they made their international debut in 1938 and switched to CONMEBOL in 1958. The national record is awful, with just one win in the South American Championship and only a handful more in World Cup qualifiers, even though they have entered both regulary.

The clubs are weak, too, and three Copa Libertadores sime-finals are the best they have managed, A profiessional league was finally set up in 1956, but Venezuela have a long way to go if they are even to catch up with theother South American minnows.

YEAR FOUNDED: 1926

JOINED FIFA: 1952
