Team Information
U-16 Costa Rica National Team
Costa Rica, who got through to the knockout stage despite a lack of expectation prior to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil last year, have arrived in Japan from North Central America. Saprissa might remind you of Costa Rica, if you watched the FIFA Club World Cup. Saprissa, who participated in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2005 as the North Central American champions and came in third, is one of the biggest club teams in Costa Rica. Many participating players in this championship are from the youth team of Saprissa.
Head Coaches' Comments
SALOMON Cristian Gonzalo, the head coach (U-16 Costa Rica National Team)
It’s pleasure for the U-16 Costa Rica National Team to participate in this high-level championship. Also I’m very proud of visiting such a beautiful country. I look forward to this championship, as it’s a very good opportunity for the young players to develop themselves. We’d like to get ourselves ready for the championship.
