Diary

Thursday, 7 May 2026 - From 12th to 14th May and from 19th to 22nd, Fernando Batista, technical director, will have important work spaces with local players before the final squad is named prior to the friendly matches against Colombia and England. For Batista, much more important than the playing of these matches, are the days of work and training, and to be able to observe and evaluate the players and to continue drawing conclusions for beyond the summer. "We use the 'microcycles' to build what we want for everything that is coming, not only for the friendlies in Colombia and the United States, but also our goal, which is the Nations League; so we want to take advantage of every moment we have with the players to continue shaping the idea and the path we want," said Batista. In addition, the Costa Rican coach stresses that the National Team is going through this process with a clear and competitive idea, where the evaluation of the group will be key without losing sight of the projection towards 2030. In this sense, the constant monitoring of players inside and outside the country takes on great importance: "We are scouting many games, from local football matches and connecting with players who are performing abroad... and these moments of training will serve us for everything that is to come." Next week's practices will be held in the mornings at the FCRF-Plycem Sports Complex and players from the teams that no longer have participation in the final phase of the UNAFUT Closing Tournament will be summoned.

Monday, 11 May 2026 - The 25-man squad for this first microcycle is named by Fernando Batista. Nineteen of which are under 23 years of age. It brings together prospects from the pre-Olympic team, who in July will face the Central American and Caribbean Games, and are also projected as follow-up players in the Senior Team. the players are scheduled from Tuesday to Thursday at 7.00am at the FCRF Plycem Sports Complex, and training sessions will be from 8.00am to 10.00am.

Friday, 22 May 2026 - To come
