About Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a proud footballing nation and although they have not made a sustained impact on the world stage, they remain the most successful nation in Central America. They have won three Concacaf championships in 1963, 1969, and 1989 and eight Copa Centroamericana titles. Costa Rica is the only Central American nation to have competed at four World Cup tournaments, in 1990, 2002, 2006, and in 2014, and it was their performance in their last outing that made the world take notice. They found themselves pitted against three former world champions – Italy, England, and Uruguay, but they remarkably topped the group undefeated and claimed the scalps of Uruguay and Italy, with Joel Campbell, Keylor Navas and Bryan Ruiz putting in career-defining performances. They had equalled their best-ever performance at a World Cup, but they would reach the last eight after knocking out Greece on penalties in the Round of 16. They captured the imagination with their passion, personality, and grit, and even came close to reaching the semi-finals, only to suffer defeat on penalties to the Netherlands. Before 2014, Costa Rica largely relied upon the goals of Paulo Wanchope, as he scored a record 45 goals in 73 games for the Ticos.
