With the World Cup qualifiers going on this week, international service will begin for New York City FC‘s defender Ronald Matarrita. The Costa Rican joins Mix Diskerud and Khiry Shelton as the only players thus far from NYCFC to be called up to their nation’s team.
Like Diskerud and Shelton, both qualifying games will take place on March 25th and March 29th. The matches will be against Jamaica and Matarrita will for sure see a substantial amount of minutes. Matarrita’s international service began in Costa Rica’s U-17 squad and ever since 2010, the left back has been moving up the ranks.
