Grenada will host Costa Rica at the Kirani James Athletic Stadium on Sunday in another round of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side failed to impress in the CONCACAF Nations League last year and will be looking to put out a stronger showing in the World Cup qualifiers this month.
They faced Trinidad and Tobago in their last match, taking a two-goal lead in the opening half-hour via a brace from Stockport County's Myles Hippolyte before their opponents came back to draw level in the second half.
Costa Rica, meanwhile, are set to play in the Copa America this summer and will be looking to build some momentum before their group opener later in the month. They thrashed St. Kitts and Nevis 4-0 in their last match, with Orlando Galo netting a brace before Josimar Alcocer and Andy Rojas wrapped up the points late in the game.
