Panama at the 2026 World Cup: roster, list, players and group stage schedule

Panama faces an immediate, high-stakes survival test in Group L after a heartbreaking 1-0 opening defeat to Ghana. Led by Pumas maestro Adalberto “Coco” Carrasquilla, Los Canaleros showed immense tactical maturity in their debut—outshooting Ghana and dominating possession—only to concede a devastating winner in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.

Now sitting on zero points, the Central American side transitions to Toronto Stadium for a critical clash against a wounded Croatia. With both teams desperate to rebound from opening setbacks to keep their historic knockout stage ambitions alive, Panama will need a flawless performance to orchestrate an upset before their group stage finale against England.
