The 2024 Copa Venezuela, officially named Copa Venezuela Luis Mendoza 2024, is the 51st edition of the Venezuelan football cup, returning after a five-year hiatus. The competition began on 6 June with the participation of 14 Primera División and 16 Segunda División teams,[1] and will end on 20 July 2024,[2] with the final to be played at Estadio Metropolitano de Cabudare.[3]

Zamora are the defending champions, having won the tournament in its most recent edition held in 2019.[4]

Format

For this year, the 30 participating teams were divided into ten groups of three teams each, according to geographical location and also considering the inclusion of at least one Segunda División team in each group. In the group stage, teams played each one of their group rivals twice (once at home and once away), with the ten group winners and the six best group runners-up advancing to the knockout stage. Matches in the knockout rounds (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final) will be played over a single leg, with the home team in each matchup being decided by a draw.[5]
