Spain got to Qatar as a likely top 5 candidate to take the title home. They did that in South Africa 2010, although this will be a completely different squad. Veterans like Sergio Ramos or David de Gea won’t play, but there are youngsters such as Pedri that could give them a spark.

Costa Rica got used to surprising in this competition based on what they did in Brazil 2014. That time they won the group besides competing with Uruguay, England, and Italy. In this World Cup they will also have to take on Germany later, so they must be ready.

Who is the referee of Spain vs Costa Rica going to be?

For this match there was something curious given how the designation of the referee ended up being. The thing that happened is that the person in charge will be the same one that commanded Costa Rica’s playoff game against New Zealand. That time the CONCACAF team beat the All Whites 1-0.

The protagonist of keeping the peace in the game will be Mohammed Abdulla. Mohamed Al Hammadi will be the assistant referee 1, Hasan Al Mahri the assistant referee 2, and Ning Ma the fourth official.
