Club Sport Herediano History

Club Sport Herediano is a football club for Costa Rica's Primera División, which plays in Heredia and is also one of the oldest franchises in Costa Rican soccer. In 1918 Heredians sought to form a soccer club that would represent their province. Three local Heredian soccer clubs, Club Sport Renacimiento, Club Sport Juan J. Flores and Club Sport Cristóbal Colón decided to incorporate themselves to form Club Sport Herediano. Native Heredian soccer players such as José Joaquín "Toquita" Gutiérrez, Eladio Rosabal Cordero, Víctor Manuel Ruiz, Gilberto & Claudio Arguedas, and Luis Valerio (who all played in various clubs such as La Libertad and Gimnástica Española) united to sign the official constitution of Club Sport Herediano in June of 1921. On July 1, 1921 the first official action that CS Herediano took as an organization was to purchase land to create a soccer field. In the same year CS Herediano also began to pressure the Costa Rican Government to form a soccer Federation, thus in 1921 the Federación Costarricense de Fútbol was formed and the first national championship was scheduled—a National Championship that CS Herediano would win.

In 1925 CS Herediano embarked on its first international match when it had a six game tour in Jamaica in which they won four, tied and lost one. In 1928 CS Herediano traveled to El Salvador to play several international matches against local clubs. They beat Cuscatlán twice, once by a score of 11-0 and then again 11-1. They also beat CD FAS in Santa Ana by a score of 4-0, and beat Sonsonate 8-0. The club's most historic victory came in 1932 in Costa Rica's National Stadium in La Sabana, when CS Herediano beat the Argentinian National team by a score of 3-1. In its first decade of existence CS Herediano won 6 National Titles, four of them consecutively. CS Herediano is considered the Costa Rican club team with the most international experience. With that distinction CS Herediano can proudly boast of its many international trophies. Presently Club Sport Herediano—also known as "Los Florenses"—have had a championship drought of 12 Years going back to the 1992-93 season. In those years Costa Rica has seen only two teams win the championship, Deportivo Saprissa and Liga Deportiva Alajuelense. To CS Herediano's credit they have been at the finals but victory seems to escape their grasp. Club Sport Herediano can also boast of being the only Costa Rican Club team to win a Championship in every decade since the league's beginning. As of the 2005-2006 season, CS Herediano will be unveiling a new official team logo of a Tiger grasping the letters CSH. Although this will become the new image for the team and its new logo the previous logo will remain as the official shield of the team's uniform.

Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero

Don Eladio Rosabal Cordero whom the Stadium in Heredia was named after in 1965 was not just one of the founding fathers of the club but he was also one of the most historic and decorated players to ever wear the red and yellow shirt. The stadium has a capacity of 7,836 people and has been the site of CS Herediano's home since 1921.
