ビーチサッカー
In April 2008, the team again participated in the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship, with the hope of reaching their first World Cup. On this occasion, the team played above expectations, and although they lost their opening game 4–2 to CONCACAF powerhouse Mexico, they went on to defeat raining CONCACAF and CONMEBOL Beach soccer champions the USA (5–6), and Costa Rica (3–4) to finish second in the group; this allowed them to qualify for, along with Mexico, the 2008 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup which was held in France. Adding to the group's achievements, two of its players also picked up individual awards, with Luis Rodas being named Goalkeeper of the Tournament, and José Ruiz winning the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals (six in total).
