Highlighting the passion for football in Costa Rica, Loaiza noted the need for the local football sector to continually grow and improve.
He expressed optimism about the collective desire within the football community to achieve higher standards and more professional operations, aligning with international best practices.
While change will not be immediate, Loaiza pledged a commitment to work collaboratively with all stakeholders for the long-term betterment of Costa Rican football.
