Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s appearance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia marked their fifth time on football’s grandest stage. Though drawn into a challenging Group E alongside Brazil, Switzerland, and Serbia, the team—known as Los Ticos—showed resilience and pride. Their standout moment came in the final group match against Switzerland, where defender Kendall Waston scored a powerful header to secure a draw, giving Costa Rica their only point of the tournament.
