In Qatar 2022, Costa Rica will feature in their 6th World Cup. The last squad to register for the competition was Luis Fernando’s group, who defeated New Zealand in the play-off in June.

They showed their most excellent performance of 2014 as they reached the quarterfinals, where they were defeated on kicks by the Dutch team.

Unfortunately, they were dismissed in the group stage the last time around in the 2018 world cup. Costa Rica will face a difficult time because they are in Group E with the 2010 winners Spain, the four-time champions Germany, and the Asian Japan.

“There are more than 26 men that are eligible to represent Qatar, so it was pretty challenging to select the squad. The team’s head coach, Luis Fernando Suarez, remarked, “We questioned ourselves more about what we required for the games and their circumstances.

Goalkeepers

Even at age 35, Keylor Navas is one of the primary names that come to mind when discussing Los Ticos, and the PSG player is still a fantastic option in goal. However, Patrick Sequeira and Esteban Alvarado will be Navas’ influential backup players.

Powerful XI

Starting in goal is Navas. Oviedo will likely start at left full-back, Calvo & Duarte will likely begin to through the middle, and Waston will probably start at right full-back.

Borges will keep the midfield compact, while Ruiz contributes some originality in the center. Fuller and Bennette can be problematic on the wings, and Campbell is joined up front by Venegas.

Navas, Calvo, Oviedo, Watson, Duarte, Bennette, Fuller, Venegas, Borges, Ruiz, and Campbell make up Costa Rica’s starting lineup (4-4-2).
