The story behind the shirt
2002/03 in context
This home shirt was famously worn during the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan, marking a memorable tournament appearance for Costa Rica. Despite being placed in a challenging Group C alongside eventual champions Brazil and third-place finishers Turkey, Los Ticos played an incredibly entertaining brand of attacking football, defeating China 2-0 and drawing 1-1 with Turkey. Standing at the forefront of this legendary squad was lethal target man Paulo Wanchope, whose towering presence, clinical finishing, and high-profile exploits in the English Premier League made him the nation's ultimate footballing ambassador on the global stage.
