"Christiansen's last squad of the year was bursting with experience, featuring no fewer than three international centurions. Alberto Quintero ended 2025 with 140 caps and captain Anibal Godoy has represented Panama more than 150 times. Quintero and fellow 100-cap man Eric Davis were the only members of that squad who play in Panama. The national team squad is typically made up of players spread around the Americas and the Spanish-speaking world."
"You may like Los Canaleros lost all three group stage matches in their debut World Cup in 2018, losing to Belgium, England and Tunisia but scoring their first two World Cup goals in the process. Notwithstanding a penalty shoot-out defeat against Honduras at the Gold Cup, Panama were unbeaten in their last 12 matches of 2025, all of them competitive."
Panama secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup, their second-ever appearance, after an emphatic campaign under Danish head coach Thomas Christiansen. The team recorded four wins from four in the first CONCACAF group stage and remained unbeaten in the second group stage to finish ahead of Suriname. The 2018 debut produced three group-stage defeats but Panama scored its first two World Cup goals then. Panama ended 2025 on a 12-match unbeaten run in competitive fixtures. The November squad emphasized experience, featuring multiple centurions such as Alberto Quintero and captain Anibal Godoy, with most players based across the Americas and the Spanish-speaking world.
