The 2018 world cup is 9 days away and some teams will be gracing the world cup for the first time.Panama happens to be one of the teams gracing the World Cup stage for the first time in their history this summer when they travel to Russia.
One of only two tournament debutants for the 2018 edition, Panama have enjoyed modest success in the Gold Cup over recent years and will hope to spring a few surprises at this summer’s World Cup.
Qualification came in dramatic fashion and not much will be expected of the Central American nation at the tournament itself, but stranger things have happened than Panama enjoying an unlikely run into the knockout stages.
