The Costa Rican players appointed to play for the Veterans League by coach Michael M. Quartey are: Jairo Sandoval, Juan Campos and Javier Cañas.
The fourth athlete, Danny Herrera was chosen to play for Team America.
"This will be an event with United States professional players. We are very proud that they take our players into account," Costa Rica Football League said in its statement.
