The Venezuelan women's national football team represents Venezuela in international women's football . The national team is subordinate to the Football Association of Venezuela and is coached by José Catoya. Venezuela and Colombia were the first countries in South America to host an international women's soccer match. On July 13, 1966, the Venezuelan team lost 2-1 to Colombia in Caracas . The game is not recognized by FIFA as an official international match.

The selection took part in seven of the previously held CONMEBOL South American Championships , with third place in 1991 being the greatest “success” so far when only three teams took part. In 2018, the team narrowly missed the final round when, after the first win against Ecuador and the biggest win against Bolivia, they lost first to Brazil and then to the Argentines with the same number of points, against whom they played for the first time in this tournament.

Venezuela has not yet participated in a world championship or the Olympic Games. Venezuela only played against the other South American countries until 2006. After a two-and-a-half year international break, games against the Central American countries Cuba and Mexico took place for the first time in 2009 . The 6-0 win against Cuba was the highest win until 2018. The first home games took place in late July / early August 2010. Venezuela played against Guatemala , Trinidad and Tobago , Nicaragua , Haiti and Puerto Rico .
