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. Panama reached the Gold Cup final in 2005, 2013 and 2023. The 2023 final ended in a 1-0 defeat by Mexico, with Santiago Gimenez scoring in the 88th minute; Adalberto Carrasquilla was named the tournament's most valuable player. Reaching the final and winning an individual award are different from winning the continental team title.

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. Future opportunities depend on the eligibility and qualification rules for each edition. The current wait does not imply that a completed tournament can still be won.
