Overview

  • Costa Rica drew 0-0 with Honduras in San José, finishing third in Group C with seven points behind Haiti (11) and Honduras (9) to miss the 2026 tournament.
  • The Costa Rican Football Federation announced on Nov. 20 that Miguel Herrera and his staff were dismissed, ending a 15-match tenure.
  • Herrera’s record with Costa Rica was reported as seven wins, five draws and three losses, including just one win in the six-match qualifying group.
  • Media and fans criticized the coach as local reports estimated roughly $12 million in lost sponsorships from missing the World Cup and noted a reported $1 million qualifying bonus clause in his contract.
  • The federation has begun evaluating options for a new coach, with reports suggesting names such as Luis Fernando Tena, and separate reports in Mexico link Herrera to potential interest from Atlante.
