2026 Concacaf W Championship Team Profile: Costa Rica

A look at Las Ticas before the W Championship kicks off.

MIAMI - The 2026 Concacaf W Championship begins on November 27 until December 5 with the region’s top eight women’s national teams competing in Dallas and Texas, United States, with a 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics ticket on the line.

Costa Rica will be making their 8th appearance in the tournament after qualifying as leaders of Group C of the 2025/26 Concacaf W Qualifiers. The nation’s best result in the W Championship was in 2014 when it finished as Runners-up, falling to the United States in the Final.

Las Ticas have a 14W-1D-16L all-time record in the competition over 31 matches played, scoring 51 goals and conceding 62 over their tournament’s run.

Costa Rica’s top scorers in tournament history are Raquel Rodríguez (11) and Priscila Chinchilla (6). They will both look to add to that tally in hopes of leading the nation to another World Cup appearance.

Las Ticas are among the most accomplished Central American teams at the international level as they have made two World Cup appearances in the 2015 Canada and 2023 Australia/New Zealand editions.

They will begin their campaign on November 27 in a Quarterfinal clash against Jamaica, where the winner will secure their spot in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 and a spot in the 2026 W Championship Semifinals.
