Corinthians midfielder called up to represent Venezuela in Nations League | OneFootball

Corinthians midfielder Dayana Rodríguez has been called up to represent the Venezuelan national team in the first two rounds of the Women's Nations League, which will take place between October 24 and 28. The competition serves as a kind of qualifier for the 2027 World Cup and does not include Brazil, as the country is already qualified for being the host nation of the tournament.

Despite the call-up, Corinthians may not be directly affected by her absence, since Brazilian football tends to pause during FIFA dates. The Brazilian National Team, in fact, is expected to play international friendlies during this period, coinciding with the rounds of the new South American league.

Currently, Dayana is available for Timão in the Conmebol Libertadores Femenina, which kicks off this Thursday. The continental competition ends on October 18. Meanwhile, the Conmebol Nations League will be played in parallel with the final rounds of the group stage of the Women's Paulistão, which could impact the club's schedule.

Venezuela will debut at home on October 24, against Chile. Then, on the 28th, they face Paraguay away. These two matches mark the beginning of Venezuela's journey in pursuit of a spot at the 2027 World Cup.

The tournament format stipulates that the nine participating teams will play each other in a round-robin system, with matches running until June 2026. In each FIFA window, eight teams play and one has a bye. At the end of the competition, the top two teams qualify directly for the World Cup, while the third and fourth places will compete in an intercontinental playoff.

In addition to Venezuela, Chile, and Paraguay, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, and Uruguay are also participating. As a result, Corinthians may soon have another international call-up, since forward Gisela Robledo is a regular presence in the Colombian national team squad lists.
