In the World Cup preliminaries, Costa Rica drew with Honduras, ranking third in the group, and missed the main match of the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup.

After the game, the team's star, former Real Madrid legendary goalkeeper Navas, stood confused, and teammate Alcocer even fell to the ground, shaking and crying.

Costa Rica is currently ranked 45th in the world. They reached the quarterfinals in the 2014 World Cup. They advanced in both 2018 and 22, but did not advance out of the group.
