Panama took the first place in its quartet in the last qualifying round and qualified for the World Cup without any problems. This World Cup will be the second in the history of the national team. For the first time, the channelers played at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but could not get out of the group. In their last friendly match, Thomas Christiansen's team suffered a crushing defeat against Brazil (2-6).
The national team has never represented the republic at the World Championships in its history, and the highest achievement is reaching the group stage of the 2025 CONCACAF Cup. In the last selection for the 2026 World Cup, Marcelo Neveleff's team took third place in the standings and did not qualify. In their last match, the Dominican Republic exchanged goals with Cuba (1-1).
It will not be easy for the Dominican Republic in the away match, as Panama will take risks and try to take the game into its own hands. The visitors are on a three-match winning streak and lost the last face-to-face game on the opponent's field by a three-goal margin. The home team has an advantage in the selection of players, will take advantage of the experience and will not leave any chances to the guests who are inferior in class and a level below their opponent.
