Soteldo left out of Venezuela squad, here’s why | OneFootball

Forward Yeferson Soteldo was left out of the list of players called up for the Venezuelan National Team, released last Tuesday (30). The call-up is for Venezuela’s friendlies against Argentina and Belize, scheduled to take place on October 6 and 14, respectively.

Just like Soteldo, other players who are regularly featured in the National Team were also not called up. With the end of the South American Qualifiers and the country’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, the Venezuelan coaching staff decided to look for new names in order to renew the squad and find new alternatives for the coming years.

The player joined Fluminense in June of this season, during the special transfer window for the Club World Cup. Since then, the forward has played 12 official matches wearing the Tricolor jersey.
