After Canada made history by advancing to the Copa America knockout rounds in their tournament debut, Les Rouges now know who their opponent is in the Copa America quarterfinals.
Canada knew they would face the winner of Group B, but that opponent was only determined on Sunday night after Venezuela earned a commanding 3-0 victory over Jamaica.
Venezuela is the 54th-ranked team according to FIFA while Canada sits 48th.
They went undefeated through their three group-stage games, handily beating Mexico and Ecuador prior to taking on Jamaica. To win the group, all they needed against Jamaica was a draw.
Canada came second in Group A, having lost against world No. 1 and group-winner Argentina in their tournament opener, but beat Peru and tied with Chile to secure the runner-up spot with four points.
The quarterfinal match will take place on July 5 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
