Mexico's national team, which is preparing for the 2026 World Cup to be held on Mexican soil, arrived in Panama on Wednesday for its friendly match tomorrow, Thursday, at Rommel Fernández G. Stadium at 8:00 PM. The Mexicans, arriving for the friendly against Panama without their regular stars, will field a squad mostly composed of Liga MX players. The same applies to Panama, who will take to the field with LPF players and some legionaries looking to secure a spot in Thomas Christiansen's main team. Mexico, coached by Javier 'El Vasco' Aguirre, arrives on a winning streak against Panama, having won 2-1, 3-0, and the last three matches all ended in 1-0 victories. Panama comes into the match after starting 2026 with a 1-1 draw against Bolivia, which is a good omen for the team led by Christiansen as they look ahead. In Panama, it is expected that 18-year-old attacker Kadir Barría will return to the starting lineup, having made his debut with his first goal against the Bolivians on Sunday. The 'Canaleros' concluded their morning preparations and are awaiting the match, which is expected to be a sellout at Rommel Fernández G. Stadium. The news 'Mexico Arrives, Panama Ready for Second Friendly Ahead of World Cup' was first published in La Verdad Panamá.
