National Soccer Team to Play
Galician Squad
The Costa Rica national soccer
team will play a friendly with a
Galician squad in La Coruna,
Spain, on Dec. 28, the Costa
Rica Football Federation told
media on Wednesday.
Victor Hugo Alfaro, a senior
executive committee official
said that the new team manager
would use a "team of the
future", as Costa Rica has
agreed not to send the squad
that went to the 2006 World Cup
in Germany.
Costa Rica played Catalonia's
regional squad early in 2006,
ahead of the World Cup, losing
0-2 on May 24, in Barcelona's
Terassa Olympic Stadium.
Alfaro also said that the
Federation would name a new
manager in two weeks, and has
drawn up a shortlist of 10
candidates including Europeans,
Costa Ricans and South
Americans.
The new manager will begin work
on Nov. 15. Costa Rica's
national squad is currently
under the leadership of Carlos
Watson, who stepped in on Aug.
8, after Brazilian manager
Alexandre Guiamaraes resigned
following the team's poor World
Cup showing.
