Mae
maecillos | Mah-eh-see-joes
colloquial term commonly used in Costa Rica as a form of endearment or affection used between friends that conveys a sense of closeness or camaraderie. It is equivalent to terms like "buddy," "pal," or "mate". "Mae" is a widely used term in Costa Rican culture, and its usage extends beyond just soccer-related contexts.
Mejenga
mejengueros | Meh-hen-ge-ros
an informal soccer game or pick-up game, usually played among friends or neighborhood acquaintances. Mejengas often serve as a way for friends to get together, have fun, and enjoy the beautiful game in a more relaxed and informal setting like local parks, school playgrounds, or other open spaces, and are a common and beloved pastime for many people in Latin America and Spanish-speaking countries.
Mundialista
mundialista | Moon-dee-ah-lees-tah
derived from "Mundial," the Spanish word for "World Cup”, a "mundialista" is a player participating in the largest international sporting event in the world. As only a few players are selected to represent their country, it is a high honor to compete at this event and reserved for players who have demonstrated their skills at the highest level of competition.
