GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, October 13, 2025.– The Costa Rican women’s national volleyball team arrives at the 12th Central American Games Guatemala 2025 with its sights set on another historic milestone: capturing their ninth title in the history of the regional competition.
The Women’s Indoor Volleyball Tournament will take place from October 17 to 21 at the Teodoro Palacios Flores Gymnasium in Guatemala City, featuring three matches daily at 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00 hours, followed by the men’s tournament matches, held simultaneously.
In the previous edition, Costa Rica claimed the championship after an exciting five-set victory over Nicaragua, securing their eighth title and fourth consecutive gold, reaffirming their dominance in Central American volleyball.
The “Ticas” have built a legacy of consistency and success at the Central American Games. Panama was the first country to win the gold medal in 1973, but since then Costa Rica has dominated the competition. After claiming the title in 1977, 1986, 1990, and 1994, their streak was interrupted by Honduras in 1997. However, Costa Rica regained the crown in 2001 and went on to defend it in 2010, 2013, and 2017, remaining the most successful nation in the history of Central American women’s volleyball.
With a new generation of players blended with the experience of experienced leaders, Costa Rica heads to Guatemala determined to continue writing its golden legacy in regional volleyball.
