Venezuelan Sports: Coach Farías Decries Bathroom Press Conference, Wrestler Díaz Wins Gold

Carabobo FC coach Daniel Farías criticised the conditions under which his team’s post‑match press conference was held, describing a press briefing conducted inside a bathroom at the Farid Richa stadium. Farías said, "Lamentablemente, mi cara y la sensación no es tanto por el partido, que ya es una pena haber perdido, sino por situaciones como esta, una rueda de prensa en un baño, este tipo de cosas no sé cómo siguen pasando." The match ended in a 1‑0 victory for Portuguesa, while Farías highlighted the logistical shortcomings affecting Venezuelan football.

In a separate achievement, Venezuelan wrestler José Díaz captured the gold medal in the 125 kg freestyle category at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo. Díaz defeated Puerto Rico’s Jonovan Smith 3‑1 in the final, adding to his previous gold from the 2023 edition and contributing to Venezuela’s overall medal tally at the regional event.
