Costa Rica is framed in Group E of the World Cup in Qatar, in which they will face Germany, Spain and Japan.
With this result, the Costa Rican team achieved its sixth classification for a World Cup and third in a row, joining Canada, Mexico and the United States of Concacaf.

His coach, the Colombian Luis Fernando Suárez, will also add a new World Cup, after participating with Ecuador in Germany 2006 and with Honduras in South Africa 2010.
