Celso Borges Life

Celso Mora (born 27 May 1988) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays for Alajuelense and the Costa Rica national team.

Early years

Alexandre Guimares, a Brazilian-born, Costa Rican-raised ex-footballer and mentor, is his father. He was born in Costa Rica's capital city San José and spent his high school years at Sistema Educativo Saint Clare High School, where he later participated in the school's team and was taught everything about soccer by Costa Rican football legend Don Juan Varela. His studies were often interrupted by his football training and playing outside of the country.

Personal life

Borges was also a Brazilian national until 2017, when he renounced his Brazilian citizenship to become a Spanish national.

Borges is usually regarded as one of Costa Rica's most educated players. Diego Torres of El Pagus described him as "the brain of Costa Rica" and "a gleaned midfielder with elegant diction," while La Nación's Antonio Alfaro named him "the exemplary Costa Rican player." Borges can also speak English, Portuguese, and Swedish, in addition to his native Spanish.

Borges plays the drums and has written about "toxicity" in Peruvian musician Kurt Dyer, quoting Slipknot, Metallica, Dream Theater, and Killswitch Engage as his favorite bands.

Celso Borges Career

Club career

At the age of 18, Borges made his professional debut for Saprissa on 15 January 2006. He won five national championships with Saprissa.

On 18 January 2009, Fredrikstad FK sporting director Tor-Kristian Karlsen confirmed that Borges had signed for them, joining on 1 July when Borges's contract with Saprissa expired. Fredrikstad later agreed to pay 1 million kroner (125,000 €) to Deportivo Saprissa so Borges could join the team immediately and play for Fredrikstad, when the season started on 14 April, against the former league champion Stabæk. In March 2011, Borges stated he would leave Fredrikstad during or after the 2011 season.

On 1 January 2012, it was confirmed that Borges, as a free agent, was to leave Fredrikstad FK signing a three-year contract with the Swedish football club AIK Stockholm.

He received the vacant number 10 jersey, last worn by Martin Kayongo-Mutumba.

On 1 April 2012, Borges made his first match for AIK, in a match against Mjällby AIF. He got his first goal for the club in the next game, scoring the game-winning goal against Kalmar FF. During the first half of the season he was used as a striker by manager Andreas Alm. But after the summer vacation he dropped down and started playing as a central midfielder and subsequently was the team's first choice in central midfield. He finished the season ending up as the team's best goalscorer.

On 14 January 2015, Borges joined Deportivo de La Coruña, signing with them until the end of the season, with an option of a two-year extension. He scored twice in his first official appearance for Dépor, having started in a 1–2 away win against Rayo Vallecano on 30 January which also marked his La Liga debut.

International career

Borges currently holds the appearance record for the Costa Rica national football team with 154 caps, scoring 27 goals. He has represented his country in over 50 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. He has also played at the 2011 and 2013 Copa Centroamericana, as well as at the 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2019 and 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cups, and the Copa América Centenario.

Borges played in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship held in Peru, in which he scored a goal and was considered among the best players of the tournament. After the tournament he was picked as one of ten players to watch out for in the future. Borges also participated in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Canada.

He made his debut for the Costa Rican senior team in a June 2008 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Grenada and, in September of the same year, scored his first international goal against Suriname.

After featuring prominently during the team's unsuccessful 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, Borges helped the team to a second-place finish at the 2011 Copa Centroamericana, as well as the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup later that year.

In June 2014, Borges was named in Costa Rica's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. During the round of 16, Borges was the first of five Costa Rican players to successfully convert his kick in a 5–3 penalty shootout win over Greece.

In May 2018 he was named in Costa Rica's 23 man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
