Spain will be bidding to get their World Cup campaign off to the best possible start when they take on Costa Rica in their Group E opener on Wednesday afternoon in FIFA World Cup 2022.
The 2010 champions haven’t won a World Cup knockout match since the final in Johannesburg. However, Luis Enrique’s youth-infused setup comes into the contest buoyed by reaching the semi-finals of the European Championships and Nations League across the last 18 months.
Costa Rica finished in fourth place in their CONCACAF qualification campaign. They picked up a crucial victory against New Zealand to qualify for the World Cup. In 2022, Costa Rica has climbed 14 places in FIFA’s World rankings – more than any other nation at this year’s finals.
