Limón Fútbol Club, commonly known as Limón, is a professional football club based in Limón, Costa Rica. It plays in the Liga FPD.

The team play their home matches at the Estadio Juan Gobán, although the more recent Estadio Nuevo de Limón serves as an alternative ground.

History

In 2009, local businessman Carlos Howden Pascal decided to invest in local second division soccer team A.D. Limonense, shareholders agreed to lease the team and were renamed "Limón FC".[1] In 2010, the team quickly returned to Costa Rica top level division Primera Division. By June 2011, Carlos Pascal was encarcerated and his banks accounts frozen,[2] compromising the team financial situation. In 2013, he was released but his bank accounts were still frozen,[3] Currently some players are receiving bonds as salary until the case is settled.[4] Many players don't only play for Limón as a job. Most of them work in other places like Ports.
