A Walk for the Stars
In recognition of the players, the creation of the “Walk of Stars” was approved in Plaza de la Juventud, located in the west of Caracas. This space will be dedicated to the members of the Venezuelan national team, immortalizing their names.
The idea came from the star Ronald Acuña Jr., who, through his social media, suggested the creation of a space similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, highlighting the names of the players and those who contributed to the team’s success.

Venezuela won against the United States with a score of 3-2 at LoanPark Stadium in Miami.
