Minnesota United midfielder Johan Venegas and defender Francisco Calvo have been called up by the Costa Rican Men’s National Team for upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mexico and Honduras.
Both players were recently called up in January for Copa Centroamericana 2017. They each found the back of the net once en route to a fourth-place finish for the Ticos.
Venegas has 34 appearances for Costa Rica since he made his debut in 2014, with eight goals to his credit. He has been a big part of the qualifying campaign with two goals and an assist in this qualifying cycle, playing as both a midfielder and a forward.
