VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC confirmed on Friday that centre back Kendall Waston and midfielder Christian Bolaños have been called up for the Costa Rican national team's final two matches in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
A single point for Costa Rica would clinch them a spot in the World Cup. They may also get in depending on how the United States and Honduras fare in each of their remaining two matches, as the two CONCACAF rivals trail the Costa Ricans in the standings.
The Ticos host Honduras on October 6, then round out their Hex schedule with a visit to Panama on October 10.
