Venues
On 11 July 2022, CONMEBOL President Alejandro Domínguez announced that Venezuela would host the next CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[1][5] Venezuela is hosting the tournament for the first time, becoming the ninth CONMEBOL nation to do so.[6] On 14 October 2023, CONMEBOL announced Caracas, Valencia and Barquisimeto as the host cities.[2] On 28 January 2024, Barquisimeto was withdrawn as host city because the playing field of the Estadio Metropolitano was not fit to host the games it had scheduled.[7]
Estadio Brígido Iriarte in Caracas and Estadio Misael Delgado in Valencia will host the preliminary stage matches. The final stage matches, originally scheduled to be held at Estadio Metropolitano in Barquisimeto, were moved to Estadio Brígido Iriarte in Caracas.[8]
