Alajuelense Home voetbalshirt  2003

2003 Alajuelense home voetbalshirt . Home shirt as worn during the latter part of the 2002-03 season (first used on early 2003) and the entire 2003-04 season. The above example corresponds to the 2002-03 season (due to sponsorship arrangements and different numbering between seasons).

Alajuelense lost a total three matches during the entire season, one of them being the season opener. After that, they had a 27-match undefeated record (which ended with a 1-0 defeat on Santos de Guápiles home turf), being the second-longest streak in Costa Rican history (the longest undefeated record also belongs to Alajuelense under Czechoslovak boss Jan Poštulka, being 33 matches long). The third and last loss was against Herediano (1-2) in front of a packed Alejandro Morera Soto stadium--a win or a tie on that match would have meant the league title for Alajuelense. The title was secured the following Wednesday against Liberia.

Alajuelense was managed by Colombian manager Jorge Luis Pinto, who became a club legend nine years before being part of the Costa Rica National Team which made a surprise appearance at Brazil 2014. Under Pinto's command, Alajuelense's rule was uncontested during his tenure. He left at the end of the season.

Shirt #24 was used by defender Pablo Chinchilla and was obtained from him on the season-ending match against Pérez Zeledón (a 4-1 win for Alajuelense).
