Costa Rican national teams prepare for upcoming world championships

Costa Rican national teams are preparing for upcoming international championships. The national paracycling team will compete in the Paracycling World Championships in Huntsville, Alabama, from September 4 to 7. The delegation includes Henry Raabe (category C3) and Esteban Madriz (category C5), who will compete in both individual time trials and road races. The team aims to accumulate world ranking points to secure qualification for the Los Angeles Paralympic Games.

Separately, the Costa Rican amputee football team is preparing for the World Cup in Mexico this November. The team is currently facing financial challenges, seeking to raise remaining funds for participation fees and airfare. While content creator Julián Valverde has pledged to provide uniforms through his brand, the association continues to seek additional support to cover costs for the 24-nation tournament.
