What are the most popular sports found in Costa Rica? For some reason I keep imagining soccer. But i really have don't know.

No trackbacks.

There are many sports in Costa Rica, of course soccer/football being one of the largest. There is also sports like surfing. I would figure they play many of the same sports as Americans.

I saw another post that said that they play flag football in Costa Rica. I wonder if that means soccer, or if that is like American football?

Comment #3 sandy from baytown, tx -

I just googled and it looks a lot like American football. Except that there are flags? Heh, i don't understand it so far but here's a link if you want to figure it out! :)

Hi Sandy

In regard to flag football. Its pretty much as regular football in concept . But did you notice the lack of protective gear on the players? Thats what the flags are for .....smile. You pull a persons flag out of their back pocket insted of doing a tackle(or knocking them to the ground)thus the ladies can play with the men with no fear.......
