The 2014–15 Costa Rican FPD was the 95th season of the Costa Rican top-flight football league. It was divided into two championships: the Invierno [winter] and Verano [summer] seasons.
The league was contested by a total of 12 teams, including Puma Generaleña, promoted from the 2013–14 Liga de Ascenso. While Puntarenas were relegated.
The tournament began on 15 August 2014, with Carmelita defeating Limón 2–0, with Guatemalan player Angelo Padilla scoring the first goal of the tournament. It ended on 21 December 2014, with Saprissa winning their 31st title after they overcome Herediano in the final.
Updated to match(es) played on 10 September 2014. Source: Resultados Invierno 2014 - UNAFUT.com Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
A new rule was introduced a few season ago, that clubs can only have three foreign players per club and can only add a new player if there is an injury or player/s is released.
Source: [citation needed] Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win. Notes:
^The Limón–Carmelita match was suspended because of an unpaid ₡30 million debt to the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social. Limón tried to appeal the suspension in order to reprogram the game. However, the appeal was denied by the Competition Committee and Limón was sanctioned with a 0–3 loss.[4]
