Later that evening, the outlet reiterated the situation with another post: “Juego San Carlos vs. Pérez Zeledón se retrasa por situación climática que impide uso del VAR https://t.co/qygmYyNBDT”. Both tweets referenced weather conditions causing a delay in the match between San Carlos and Pérez Zeledón due to an inability to use the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system.
In addition to coverage of local sports events, La Nación also focused on Costa Rican footballer Keylor Navas and his family.

San Carlos and Pérez Zeledón are professional football teams competing in Costa Rica’s top division. The use of VAR technology has become increasingly common in international and domestic leagues for reviewing contentious decisions during matches. Weather-related interruptions have occasionally affected football games worldwide by disrupting technical systems like VAR.
Keylor Navas is one of Costa Rica’s most prominent footballers, known for his career as a goalkeeper at clubs such as Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain before moving to play in Mexico. His wife, Andrea Salas, often shares experiences related to their family’s adaptation to new countries following his transfers.
