Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas and former Arsenal forward Joel Campbell are among the players selected to represent Costa Rica at the World Cup in Qatar.
Bryan Ruiz – who played for Fulham in 2011 – has also been selected in the 26-man squad. He will play alongside Sunderland striker Jewison Bennette at the showpiece event.
Costa Rice head coach Luis Fernando Suarez has also selected Brandon Aguilera, a 19-year-old midfielder on loan at Guanacasteca from Nottingham Forest.
Speaking about his selection, Suarez said: ‘It was very difficult [to choose the squad] because there are not only 26 players eligible to be in Qatar.
‘We asked ourselves more questions about what we needed for the games and the current situation of each of them.
It is a group that is focused on what it wants, has a lot of desire [and has shown] a continuous improvement since we started.
Costa Rice were the last team to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. They secured their place by beating New Zealand in an intercontinental play-off in June.
Suarez will be hoping his side can build upon their 2014 World Cup performance, where they enjoyed a surprise run to the quarter-finals.
However, they failed to get out of the group during the 2018 edition of the tournament in Russia.
