Wikipedia - Costa Rica men's national basketball team

History
The origins of organized basketball in Costa Rica date to the mid-20th century, when the sport began gaining popularity in San José and other major cities. The men's national team was formed to represent Costa Rica in regional competitions throughout Central America and the Caribbean.
Costa Rica became a regular participant in the FIBA Centrobasket Championship, competing against regional powers such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama. While the team rarely advanced beyond the preliminary rounds, it established itself as a competitive presence and one of the stronger national teams within Central America.
The 2000s marked a period of growth for Costa Rican basketball at the regional level. The national team won gold medals at the COCABA Championship—the Central American sub-zone tournament—in both **2007** and **2015**, asserting itself as one of the top teams in the sub-region.
Despite these regional accomplishments, Costa Rica has yet to qualify for a FIBA AmeriCup, a FIBA Basketball World Cup, or the Olympic Games. The national program continues to prioritize the development of local talent through the Liga de Baloncesto Superior de Costa Rica and youth-level competitions.
In recent years, Costa Rica has participated in FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification (Americas), competing against stronger teams from across the continent. Although qualification for major tournaments remains a challenge, the team is regarded as a competitive force in Central American basketball and continues to invest in the sport’s nationwide development.
