Minnesota United defender Francisco Calvo and midfielder Johan Venegas have been called up by Costa Rica for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July. This is the third call-up for both players since joining the Loons.
The duo was called up earlier this month by the Ticos for World Cup qualifying matches against Panama and Trinidad and Tobago. Venegas started in both matches, and Calvo scored his first international goal in the first minute of the match against Trinidad and Tobago en route to a 2-1 victory. Venegas has 37 and Calvo 24 career appearances for Costa Rica.
