Panama Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or CONCACAF Gold Cup Title

Panama's story so far

Panama are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Best result: World Cup debut in 2018; a disputed 'ghost goal' against England was celebrated as wildly as a trophy back home despite a 6-1 loss.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Panama would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the CONCACAF Gold Cup — the top continental honor in the North & Central America, Caribbean (CONCACAF) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
