Last November, players of Venezuelan first division football team Trujillanos took to the pitch with a banner demanding their long unpaid salaries and then stood still for a minute in protest once the game kicked off.
"It's been 12 very weird months, but an opportunity to grow and evaluate," said defender Roberto Rosales, who played on that historic night in 2011 and will almost certainly be in the squad again in June, now aged 32. A month later, after calls from former national team manager Dr. Richard Paez and other prominent figures, FIFA appointed a normalisation committee to take charge of the federation and hold elections for new directors by June 30, 2021.
Although La Vinotinto's standing on the world stage does not always mirror the strength of Venezuela's league, small but incremental markers of progress are never too far apart, and 2021 began with a quick succession of them.
