Nicaragua Alleges Costa Rican Police Tried to Detain Player
Nicaraguan soccer officials accuse Costa Rican police of trying to detain player Byron Bonilla over child support before a World Cup qualifier.
Tensions ran high at the National Stadium in Costa Rica when police officers entered the Nicaraguan team’s locker room moments before their World Cup qualifier against the home side.
The Nicaraguan Football Federation claims the move targeted one of their players over a child support dispute and threw the squad off balance, contributing to their 4-1 loss.
The incident unfolded just before kickoff in the fourth round of Concacaf qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
- At least nine police officers showed up to serve a notice related to an alleged unpaid child support case.
No comment from Costa Rican authorities was available.
