This year, there’s been plenty of discussion about the officiating in Liga FUTVE. 👨🏻⚖️
On-pitch phone calls, questionable Instagram posts, long VAR delays, and halftime visits to the referee’s changing room – it’s become a telenovela of its own.
🧵So let’s look at the numbers!

Wilfred Correa guided Caracas to a 1-0 win today, keeping Caracas tied with Botafogo for 1st in their #Sudamericana group. 🇻🇪
Venezuela did face some continental defeats today, but FutVe clubs are still 4-3-2 in the Libertadores/Sudamericana (combined).
A remarkable week for Venezuela in continental competition is completed tonight as Carabobo defeat Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 to take 3 points in the Copa Sudamericana. 🇻🇪
Five Venezuelan teams played in the Libertadores or Sudamericana this week, zero lost.

🗓️ Week in Review:
UCV’s loss to La Guaira helped the latter, and Metropolitanos, close the gap on the league leaders. Táchira also now sit just two points behind UCV.
Caracas and Rayo suffered blows to their campaigns for the top-8, while Portuguesa have improved. 🇻🇪
Both Ender Echenique and Wikelman Carmona scored for their respective clubs today in an MLS match between Cincinnati and Montreal. Cincinnati won 4-3. ⚽️⚽️⚽️
As the apertura reaches the nine-game mark, Táchira and Estudiantes de Mérida meet for a vital Clásico Andino. ⚽️
A win for the hosts would see Deportivo Táchira stay firmly in the top-four pack, while Estudiantes could emerge from a tight group at the qualifying line. 🇻🇪
HOY es domingo de fútbol en el Templo, ponte con ORGULLO la amarilla y negra y alienta con el alma en la tribuna, porque HOY jugamos TODOS el Clásico Andino ⚔️🛡️
TODOS A PUEBLO NUEVO 🦾
#VamosTáchira 💛🖤
Two goals from Edson Castillo see Carabobo lead Sporting Cristal 2-1 on aggregate during the final round of #CopaLibertadores qualifying.

Could Lamadrid suit up for West Ham in the FA Cup tomorrow? 👀
The Hammers host Burton Albion as Lamadrid makes progress. He scored one goal and played 45 minutes in a U21 match against Middlesbrough on Feb. 2.
This penalty provided Deportivo Táchira their aggregate win over The Strongest to qualify for the next round of the Copa Libertadores qualification. 🟡⚫️
The 2024 league champions will join 2025 clausura winners Carabobo in the second round. 🇻🇪

El tema no es si esto está bien o mal, eso es irrelevante y subjetivo. Pero el fútbol venezolano carece de narrativa picante y estas cosas suman mucho al show que necesita la liga. Es normal que el fanático del Caracas se sienta traicionado por Tucaní, y que eso se haga sentir en el estadio, es un buen síntoma. Esto es fútbol.
