San José (Costa Rica), July 2 (IANS/EFE): The Costa Rican national congress unanimously agreed to honour the national football team for its impressive campaign in the 2014 World Cup.

Costa Rica scripted history by entering the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time. They face the Netherlands in the last eight.

The national congress is also mulling declaring June 20 an annual national day for football in Costa Rica, commemorating the 1-0 win over Italy in the second round of the group stage, reports EFE. 

It was also the day Costa Rica defeated Sweden 2-1 to advance to the round of 16 in the 1990 World Cup.

The congress approved the decision to honour the national team and the coach, Jorge Luis Pinto, after they returned from Brazil.
