The fixture between the neighboring countries presented a first matchup between the teams in South Florida since 2018 and offered fans a new opportunity to witness South American national teams in action at DRV PNK Stadium. Los Cafeteros played a third friendly at the venue, with Colombia earning a 2-1 win over Honduras in January 2022 and defeated fellow South American side Paraguay 2-0 in November of that same year. Venezuelan fans, meanwhile, were able to watch La Vinotinto playing at Inter Miami CF’s home ground for the first time.
