m moved Deportivo Saprissa to C.D. Saprissa: The history section of the team's website says that the name of the club is "Club Deportivo Saprissa" and "Club Deportivo" is abbreviated to "C.D." in article titles |
You drunk, f^u$c#king bastard gringo, that is an obvious typo. Everywhere else in the site it says "Deportivo Saprissa". Go f@u*c(ing die! |

|||
The club's success has led to the [[Costa Rica]]n newspaper ''Diario Extra'' [[nickname|nicknaming]] the team ''El Monstruo Morado'' ("The Purple Monster"), after Saprissa won a Championship in the early 1980s and an article in the newspaper said "the crowd yells and screams like a thousand-headed monster". |

Along with [[Club Necaxa]], this is the highest finish out of any CONCACAF team in the FIFA Club World Cup. |
|||

The club has won a record 28 national titles and 8 short championships as well as three official international tournaments and ten international championships. |
|||
==History== |
|||
{{details3|[[History of Deportivo Saprissa]]}} |
|||
Deportivo Saprissa was founded on [[16 July]], [[1935]] and they entered the Costa Rican Third Division as '''Saprissa F.C.''' They were promoted to the [[Primera División de Costa Rica]], making their debut in the top flight on [[21 August]], [[1949]]. The club has remained in the Costa Rican top flight ever since. They were Primera División champions six consecutive seasons between 1972 and 1977. |
|||
===Recent events=== |
|||
In 2003, the club was bought by [[Mexico|Mexican]] entrepreneur [[Jorge Vergara]], the owner of Mexican football club [[Club Deportivo Guadalajara]] and soon after the operator of [[Major League Soccer]] club [[Club Deportivo Chivas USA]] in the [[United States]]. |
|||
Saprissa won the [[CONCACAF Champions' Cup 2005|2005 CONCACAF Champions Cup]], beating Mexican club [[Club Universidad Nacional|Universidad Nacional]] in the final over two legs, in May 2005. As [[CONCACAF]] club champions they qualified for the [[2005 FIFA Club World Championship]], held in [[Japan]] in December 2005. They beat [[Australia]]n club [[Sydney FC]] in the quarter-finals thanks to a goal by [[Christian Bolaños]]. In the semi-finals they were beaten 3-0 by [[England|English]] club [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]. In the third place match they beat [[Al-Ittihad (Jeddah)|Al Ittihad]] of [[Saudi Arabia]] 3-2. [[Álvaro Saborío]] scored two goals, and [[Rónald Gómez]] scored the final goal in the 89th minute to seal the win. They finished the competition in third place behind [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo]] of [[Brazil]] and Liverpool. Saborío was joint top scorer, and Bolaños was awarded the Bronze Ball by [[FIFA]] as third best player of the championship. |
|||
==Team colours and nickname== |
|||
In 1937, Saprissa adopted [[purple]] as the official [[Kit (association football)|kit]] colour. It is said that the team adopted purple because their previous kit, which consisted of a red and blue striped shirt, was washed together by mistake. Then when the kits were ready to be picked up, it was realized that the two colours had blended, forming a solid purple colour.{{Fact|date=September 2008}} |
|||
The history of the nickname ''El Monstruo Morado'' (''The Purple Monster'') can be traced back to 1987, when the Costa Rican [[newspaper]] ''[[Diario Extra (Costa Rica)|Diario Extra]]'' gave the team the nickname during the local [[derby]] with [[LD Alajuelense]]. A [[reporter]] is said to have commented that the sea of fans in the stands at the [[Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá]] in [[Tibás Canton|Tibás]] wearing purple and the tremendous noise they were generating made him feel like he was "in the presence of a thousand headed monster". Saprissa immediately adopted the nickname ''El Monstruo Morado''. |
|||
==Stadium== |

|||
[[Image:236160348 15e87128f5 o.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Fans of "La Ultra Morada" in La Cueva]] |
|||
Saprissa plays home games at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá, named after Ricardo Saprissa. They originally played at the [[Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica|Costa Rica National Stadium]], which they rented and shared. |
|||
A new site for a stadium was bought in 1965 and on [[27 August]], [[1972]] after six years of construction and upgrades, Estadio Ricardo Saprissa was officially opened. The first match was between Deportivo Saprissa and Comunicaciones of Guatemala. The match ended in a 1-1 draw with Peter Sandoval of Comunicaciones scoring the first goal at the new stadium. |
|||
The stadium is called ''La Cueva del Monstruo'' (The Monster's Cave), after the nickname of the club, ''El Monstruo Morado'' ("The Purple Monster"). It has a [[seating capacity]] of 23,112 and is overlooked by local mountains and downtown San Jose. |
|||
==Supporters== |
|||
{{Unreferenced|date=September 2008}} |
|||
La Ultra Morada (The Purple Ultra) is the club's official supporters group. The group was the first [[Ultras]] group in Costa Rica, formed in 1995 when the then Saprissa president [[Enrique Artiñano]] brought fans from the Chilean football club [[Universidad Católica]], to help build a similar ultras group to their Los Cruzados, for Saprissa. In the mid-to-late 1990s the Ultras began to develop the image of being [[Football hooliganism|football hooligans]] when violence began to break out with opposition fans during games. Due to the negative atmosphere and press coverage, Saprissa stepped in to restore order to a group that they had helped create. Ultra Morada has now been taken under the wing of Saprissa, making it a more stable but devoted supporters group. This project is still on-going. The groups rivalry with La 12 (The Twelve) who support LD Alajuelense has been the cause of a number violent clashes in and out of stadiums. |
