Panama's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach Thomas Christiansen on June 2, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, ten defenders, nine midfielders and four forwards. Panama is drawn into Group L, where it faces England, Croatia and Ghana. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Orlando Mosquera, with 1,141 minutes across 13 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Andrés Andrade on 989 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 5 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 22. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
