DFB group opponents Costa Rica canceled their last test before the World Cup. There were problems entering Iraq.
Due to complications when entering Iraq, Germany’s group opponents Costa Rica canceled their last friendly before the World Cup. This was announced by the country’s football association on Thursday, according to the US broadcaster ESPN.
The game against Iraq planned for the evening does not take place because an agreement that was reached was not kept.
Border officials cause problems
Accordingly, Costa Rica had asked not to stamp the passports upon entry. Apparently the border officials didn’t want to stick to that, so goalkeeper Keylor Navas’ team returned to their training camp in Kuwait.
Costa Rica wants to travel to Qatar on Friday, according to the information. The first group game will take place on November 23 against Spain. In Group E on December 1st, Costa Rica is the last preliminary round opponent for the German national team.
