A red tide (Marea Roja) has surged north this summer to support their beloved Panama at World Cup 2026 and they are in confident mood, following an impressive qualifying campaign.
Having lost all their matches when they were last on the global stage in 2018, Panama will be keen to get some points on the board during their forthcoming World Cup group games in Toronto and New Jersey.
Losing to a late Ghana goal in their tournament opener last week, may have been a stomach churner for Panama, but they've always shown great spirit and we can expect more of the same when they take on their other Group L rivals, Croatia (June 23) and England (June 27).
GOAL will show you the latest World Cup 2026 ticket information, including how you can secure seats at the upcoming Panama games, and how much they will cost.

What to expect from Panama at World Cup 2026
It’s been a positive period for Panama. Following a 2-1 loss to Mexico in the 2025 CONCACAF Nations League final, Los Canaleros went on a 13-match unbeaten run, until they suffered a loss at the hands of Mexico again in January.
Panama are getting used to unbeaten runs, as for the first time ever they managed to go a whole World Cup qualifying campaign without tasting defeat, winning seven and drawing three of their 10 matches.
Jose Fajardo and Jose Luis Rodriguez were joint top scorers for Panama en route to World Cup 2026 and they’ll be key players in the tournament this summer. Experienced trio, Eric Davis and Amir Murillo (defenders), along with captain, Anibal Godoy, in midfield, who have a total of 354 caps between them, will also play crucial roles.
Thomas Christiansen, who's been in the Panama hotseat since 2020, will know his side cannot afford to concede goals as they did on their World Cup debut in 2018. Back then, they leaked 11 goals during their three group games. Their heaviest defeat being a 6-1 defeat to England.
