'''Club Sport Herediano''' ({{IPA|es|kluβ (e)spoɾt eɾeˈðjano}}), commonly known as '''Herediano''' and nicknamed El Team, is a Costa Rican [[sports club|multisport club]] based in [[Heredia, Costa Rica|Heredia]], [[Heredia Province|Heredia province]]. Although they compete in a number of different sports, Herediano is best known for its [[association football|football]] team. It plays in the [[Primera División de Costa Rica]], the top tier of the [[Football in Costa Rica|Costa Rican football league system]]. Herediano are one of two clubs to have [[List of unrelegated association football clubs|never been relegated]].

Herediano has its origins in 1918. The framework for ''Asociación Deportiva Club Sport Herediano'' was simmering since June 1920, with the appointment of an interim board with iconic figures like Manuel Joaquín Gutiérrez, Eladio Rosabal, Víctor Manuel Ruiz, Claudio Arguedas and Luis Valerio, but it was not until June 12, 1921 that the Herediano Charter was signed. In that same year, Eladio Rosabal Cordero became the first manager of the [[Costa Rica national football team]], and Herediano player Manuel Joaquín Gutiérrez became the first scorer of the national team.

The club's first season resulted in Herediano winning the national championship in 1921, the first edition of Costa Rica's top-flight league. Herediano established itself as a major force in Costa Rican football by winning 28 First Division titles through 2019.

''El Team'' plays its [[Home (sports)|home]] matches at the [[Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero]]. Herediano's home kit is composed of red and yellow vertical striped shirts, with red shorts, accompanied by yellow and red socks. This combination has been used since 1929. [[Pirma]] are the kit manufacturers. Herediano holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably against [[Liga Deportiva Alajuelense|Alajuelense]], [[Deportivo Saprissa|Saprissa]] and [[C.S. Cartaginés|Cartaginés]]. It has contributed many key and famous players towards [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]]'s [[FIFA World Cup]] squads such as [[Marvin Obando]], [[Germán Chavarría]], [[Claudio Jara]], [[Mauricio Wright]], [[Paulo Wanchope]], [[David Myrie]], [[Óscar Granados]], [[José Miguel Cubero]], and [[Daniel Cambronero]].

==History==
In 1918, Heredians sought to form a football club that would represent their province. Three local Heredian football clubs, Club Sport Renacimiento, Club Sport Juan J. Flores, and Club Sport Cristóbal Colón incorporated themselves to form Club Sport Herediano.<ref>[http://wvw.nacion.com/ln_ee/2006/julio/29/deportes1.html Herediano a través del tiempo en el futbol tico] – Nación {{in lang|es}}</ref> Native Heredian football players such as José Joaquín "Toquita" Gutiérrez, Eladio Rosabal Cordero, Víctor Manuel Ruiz, Gilberto and Claudio Arguedas, and Luis Valerio (who all played in various clubs such as La Libertad and Gimnástica Española) united to sign the official constitution of CS Herediano in June 1921. On July 1, 1921, the first official action that CS Herediano took was to purchase land to create a football field. In the same year, CS Herediano began to pressure the Costa Rican government to form a local FA, and thus in 1921 the Federación Costarricense de Fútbol was formed and the first national championship was scheduled—which CS Herediano would win.

In 1925, CS Herediano embarked on its first international match when it had a six-game tour in Jamaica in which they won four, tied and lost one. In 1928 CS Herediano travelled to El Salvador to play several international matches against local clubs. They beat Cuscatlán twice, once by a score of 11–0 and then again 11–1. They also beat [[C.D. FAS|FAS]] in [[Santa Ana, El Salvador|Santa Ana]] 4–0, and beat Sonsonate 8–0. The club's most historic victory came in 1932 in Costa Rica's National Stadium in La Sabana, when CS Herediano beat the [[Argentina national football team|Argentina National team]] 3–1. In its first decade of existence CS Herediano won 6 national titles, four of them consecutively. CS Herediano is considered the Costa Rican club team with the most international experience. They also won the 1988 "Copa Camel", beating in the process Mexican teams like Puebla and [[Tecos F.C.|UAG Tecos]] on American soil. Recently, CS Herediano, also known as "Los Florenses", have ended a championship drought of 19 years (going back to the 1992–93 season) by winning the Verano 2012 tournament, in a brilliant display of attacking and offensive play in the final part of the season. After that, thousands of Herediano's fans celebrated the victory in the streets, displaying what some people now estimate is the biggest football celebration in the country's history. In those years 19 previous years, Costa Rica saw only four teams win the championship, [[Deportivo Saprissa|Saprissa]], [[Liga Deportiva Alajuelense|Alajuelense]], [[Municipal Liberia|Liberia Mia]], and [[Brujas F.C.|Brujas]]. To CS Herediano's credit they were consistently at the finals, but victory seemed to escape their grasp. In the 2005–06 season, CS Herediano unveiled a new official team logo of a tiger grasping the letters CSH. Although this was supposed become the new image for the team, the original logo remained as the official shield of the team's uniform.

On May 19, 2012, Herediano put an end to a drought of titles by winning the 22nd against [[Santos de Guápiles]] with an aggregate score of 6–3.

However, despite this, Herediano were suffering severe financial trouble that was until American businessman David J. Patey who was working and residing in Costa Rica decided to form a consortium with his brothers (Mike and Mark) to purchase the club on October 30, 2012.[http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865575757/After-soccer-team-purchase-businessman-from-Utah-also-Costa-Rican-celebrity.html?pg=all].

==Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero==
[[Image:Herediano.jpg|thumb|right|The Eladio Rosabal Cordero stadium during the 2013 Verano final]]The construction of a stadium in the city of [[Heredia, Costa Rica|Heredia]] began on December 22, 1945, under the direction of Rafael Herrera Feluco (Drunk).

The Municipal Council of the Canton Central played a key role in donating two plots for this purpose to Club Sport Herediano, albeit with a number of conditions: the work must be completed within a five-year-period, providing the stage for other county’s sporting events, and above all, the club cannot sell the property within a period of 99 years from the execution of the deed of sale and can only be mortgaged to invest these funds in the construction or maintenance of the property.

The construction of the stadium was managed by a loan from the [[Banco Nacional de Costa Rica]], as well as inputs from the community, local organizations and the government of the Republic of Costa Rica itself.

The inaugural date is August 21, 1949, in which Herediano played its first match against the [[Sociedad Gimnástica Española de San José|Gimnástica Española]], with a score of 3–1. However, it has been discussed the opening day due to lack of a paper record that references this inaugural match to be considered the official opening game.

In 1964 the former manager Vicente Montero made a motion for the stadium to be named [[Eladio Rosabal Cordero]]. Thus, by the end of the decade of the 1960s the stadium was officially baptized under that name.

The stadium’s lighting was installed that same year, and in 1974 broadcasting booths were finished. In the late seventies the south-sector-grandstand was built.

In early 2010, the grass was replaced by latest generation of synthetic turf with dimensions of 105.80 meters long and 68 meters wide.

At present, the stadium has a capacity for 8,144 spectators, and it is owned by the Asociacion Deportiva Club Sport Herediano. Bleachers are divided into: Sol General, Sol Numerado, Sombra Numerada and Palcos.

==Kit==
The first uniform was bought at the Tomas Salazar´s Central Market stand, thanks to an economical contribution of Joaquín "Toquita" Gutierrez. The purchase was made for a dozen shirts, similar to the worn by the military in time of the Federico Tinoco government. Wearing a greyish jersey combined with white short pants; that is how Herediano showed to its first official championship match against [[Liga Deportiva Alajuelense]] – which was indeed, their first winning game-.

The distinctive usage of red and yellow as the club´s colors began in 1926, when the Club Fortuna de Cuba visited Costa Rican soil for the second time in history. The manager of the Cuban team was interested in setting up a match with Herediano, but had the drawback that Herediano did not have a proper uniform for that kind of international events. The solution was found in the New Century Warehouse owned by Ramón Herrero, who had imported red-and-yellow-striped uniforms to be used by the Spanish Gymnastic Society team. At the end, the Hispanic team did not purchase them and once again Joaquín Gutiérrez made a deal to get the uniforms, which eventually became the emblematic jersey for the club.

The red and yellow colors were added in the statutes by a reform in 1929, which stated that official uniform is a vertical red/yellow striped shirt combined with black shorts and stockings. This provision remained for seventy years, until this was excluded from the current statutes. Herediano wore a sponsorship in its shirt for the first time in 1978, when the brand [[Toshiba]] was stamped on his chest.
