Costa Rica championship team Saprissa is scheduled to train in Maricopa this summer.
“This is huge,” Mayor Christian Price said in announcing a major event.
“We are in the process of bringing an international soccer team to the city of Maricopa,” he said.
Deportivo Saprissa is a three-time winner of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Cup and the national championship team from Costa Rica. Saprissa was named CONCACAF’s Team of the 20th Century.
Price said its preseason appearance in Maricopa would draw national and international attention from businesses and fans.
