2024 Copa Venezuela

The 2024 Copa Venezuela, officially named Copa Venezuela Luis Mendoza 2024, was the 51st edition of the Venezuelan football cup, which returned after a five-year hiatus. The competition began on 6 June with the participation of 14 Primera División and 16 Segunda División teams, and ended on 20 July 2024. The final match, which was originally slated to be played at Estadio Metropolitano de Cabudare, was ultimately moved to Estadio Brígido Iriarte in Caracas.

Deportivo La Guaira won their third title in the competition, after defeating Metropolitanos 1–0 in the final. Zamora were the defending champions, having won the tournament in its most recent edition held in 2019, but were defeated by Academia Puerto Cabello in the round of 16.

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) were played over a single leg, with the home team in each matchup being decided by a draw.

Ranking of group runners-up
The six best teams among those ranked second in their groups advanced to the knockout stage.
