History
In 2009, local businessman Carlos Howden Pascal decided to invest in local second division soccer team A.D. Limonense, shareholders agreed to lease the team and were renamed "Limón FC".[1] In 2010, the team quickly returned to Costa Rica top level division Primera Division. By June 2011, Carlos Pascal was incarcerated and his banks accounts frozen,[2] compromising the team financial situation. In 2013, he was released but his bank accounts were still frozen,[3] Currently some players are receiving bonds as salary until the case is settled.[4] Many players don't only play for Limón as a job. Most of them work in other places like Ports.
