List of Costa Rican expatriate footballers

This is a list of Costa Rican expatriate footballers of all time. Only players with Costa Rican nationality and passport are included. Player must have signed a contract with the team.
Costa Rica has long been considered an exporter of footballers, with 19 players in European professional football leagues during 2006. The newspaper, La Nación, has prepared an annual census of these "Legionnaires" since 1994.
Costa Rican players have made significant contributions to other nations' professional leagues, most notably the Mexican Primera Division since it became professional in 1943. These "Legionnaires" have represented the Costa Rica national football team, which most recently has included several players contracted to clubs outside of Costa Rica during its 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.
