Panama's national football team is preparing for its second-ever World Cup appearance, hoping to build on the experiences gained from the 2018 tournament in Russia. During their debut, Panama suffered defeats to Belgium, England, and Tunisia. Despite the challenges, that experience was invaluable. Now, under Danish coach Thomas Christiansen, the team is focusing on speed, with key players like César Blackman, Cecilio Waterman, and Ismael Díaz carrying the torch from veterans like Felipe Baloy, Blas Pérez, and captain Román Torres. However, their path to the World Cup is complicated by a challenging Group L, where they will face strong European sides, including England with its top scorer Harry Kane and Croatia, led by the talented Luka Modrić.
