SAN JOSE - Costa Rica became the first country in the Americas to restart their professional soccer league on Tuesday , with an afternoon game played behind closed doors and substitutes sitting in the stands to ensure their distance from others.
"It is difficult to get up to speed again," said Arturo Campos, scorer of Guadalupe's winning goal."We feel heavy, but we are happy to return." The country's 12 top clubs returned to training on May 15 and the league will kick off again with rules such as a ban on hugging, the deep cleaning of dressing rooms and a provision for five substitutes instead of three.
Some clubs have sold"virtual tickets" to fans whose face is printed on a poster and placed on stadium seats. Others hope to create a live atmosphere with recordings of chants and songs.
