Róger Flores

Róger Flores Solano (born 26 May 1959) is a retired Costa Rican football player, a manager and father of three.

He was the captain of the Costa Rica national football team during the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy.

It was the country's first World Cup ever and the national squad accomplished the historic feat of qualifying for the second round against all odds, beating teams apparently much stronger such as Scotland and Sweden.

In Costa Rica, Il Capitano (The Captain in Italian) started his career at Sagrada Familia[2] and played for the two most popular teams, Alajuelense and Saprissa.

Flores made his debut for Costa Rica in a March 1983 friendly match against Mexico and collected a total of 49 caps, scoring two goals.
