Panama prepares for their second appearance at the FIFA World Cup with an international friendly against tournament co-host Mexico this week.
Although Mexico automatically qualified for the World Cup as a host nation, the national team has kept themselves busy with a series of friendlies. After their Gold Cup victory in July, the Mexicans failed to win their next six fixtures, which doesn’t inspire confidence going forward.
Currently ranked 30th in the world, Panama punched their ticket to the World Cup by winning Group A in the CONCACAF qualifiers in November. Los Canaleros are unbeaten in 13 straight games, with their most recent friendly resulting in a 1-1 draw against Bolivia.
