Channel 7 has unexpectedly ceased broadcasting national football league matches, leaving fans in suspense since the championship kicked off in January 2025. This decision comes as a surprise, particularly after the channel had resumed its coverage of domestic football games in March of the same year.

Viewers have noted the absence of live broadcasts, a stark contrast to the channel's recent involvement in the sport. Commentators Pedro Navarro, Christian Sandoval, and Eduardo Castillo were among those present for the match between Cartaginรฉs and Alajuelense in March 2025, signaling a renewed commitment to national football coverage at the time.

The article does not provide specific reasons for Canal 7's decision to halt broadcasts. The current situation leaves the future of the channel's involvement with the national football league uncertain, impacting both the league's visibility and the expectations of its audience.
