The Panama national team has lost three positions in the updated FIFA ranking, which is linked to the lack of matches and the strong performance of other teams in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Panama Drops in FIFA World Ranking

Panama dropped three positions in the FIFA World Ranking, which was updated yesterday. The National Team finished 2025 in 30th place, and since November 18, the date it qualified for the 2026 World Cup, it had not played any matches until last Sunday, when it drew 1-1 with Bolivia. Panama's descent was mainly due to its low activity and the rise of nations such as Nigeria (up 12 positions), Algeria (up 6), and Egypt (up 4), which just participated in the Africa Cup of Nations.
