CanMNT to play November friendly vs. Venezuela in Florida

Canada Soccer and the Venezuelan Football Federation announced today that Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team will play Venezuela (FIFA Rank #46) in an international friendly in the November 2025 window. 

The match will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This marks the fourth time CanMNT has played Venezuela in its history, with Canada having most recently defeated La Vinotinto on penalties in the 2024 Copa América quarterfinals.

“The quarterfinal win over Venezuela at the 2024 Copa América was a landmark moment for our program and something our players, staff, and supporters will never forget," said Canada head coach Jesse Marsch. "Venezuela is a quality team and will be eager for the rematch. This friendly gives us another chance to measure ourselves against a challenging opponent.”

Wednesday’s announcement finalizes the official 2025 FIFA calendar for CanMNT. In October, Canada will host Australia (FIFA Rank #24) at Stade Saputo in Montréal and play an away match in New Jersey against Colombia (FIFA Rank #14). In addition to the November match against Venezuela, Canada will host Ecuador (FIFA Rank #25) at BMO Field on Thursday 13 November, with tickets on sale to the public this Friday, Sept. 12.

Canada recently completed the September 2025 window 2-0-0 against Romania (FIFA Rank #48) in Bucharest and Wales (FIFA Rank #31) in Swansea.
