Costa Rica won't be going to the World Cup this time - it played in
the last two - but it has lined up friendlies with qualifiers
Argentina and France and is looking for matches with other teams
going to South Africa.
Costa Rican officials said on Wednesday the national team
will face Argentina on Jan. 26 in the Costa Rican capital San Juan.
A match against France is set for May 25 at a venue to be
determined.
Joseph Ramirez, secretary of the Costa Rican federation, told
Monumental radio that Greece, Switzerland and both Koreas have
inquired about matches.
Costa Rica will be led by interim coach Ronald Gonzalez, who
took over for Rene Simoes after the Ticos failed to qualify.
