Getting to know Alajuelense

Atlanta United’s first competitive matchup of the season is nearly here. Here’s a quick primer on the club and the Liga Deportiva Alajuelense players who may play a significant role across the two legged Concacaf Champions League tie.

Disclaimer: I am not a Liga de Fútbol de Primera División or Liga Deportiva Alajuelense expert, but I’ll try to give my two cents on the team.

History

Alajuelense has some clout in Costa Rica. Founded in 1919, the club has won the second most championships in Costa Rica with 30. Only Deportiva Saprissa has more (35).
