By the Numbers
The Licensing Committee of the Costa Rican Football Federation (FCRF) has temporarily suspended the participation license of the Asociación Deportiva San Carlos club for the 2026-2027 season. This decision came after the club's debts to the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) were identified.
It was reported that if the debts are not restructured, the club will not be allowed to play in league matches and will not be included in the match schedule. The team needs to fix its financial situation by the weekend of 26 July in order to play the first match of the championship. Otherwise, if San Carlos fails to play its first match, it will be deemed to have lost the match 3-0.
This development coincides with the administrative restructuring process following the resignation of club president Luis Carlos Chacón approximately 15 days ago. In addition to San Carlos, the Municipal Liberia club also failed to obtain a license this season due to legal issues and was replaced by Escorpiones de Belén.
