Redemption tour
Panama’s 2018 debut was emotional but brutal — they lost all three group games and conceded 11 goals. The team that’s qualifying in 2026 is more experienced, better structured, and ready to actually compete.
The design
Deep red home shirt with a single white star at the chest — a flag reference. Black shorts, black socks. The cleanest Panama kit in a decade: no gimmicks, no excessive trim, no weird patterns. Just the colour, the crest, and the badge.
Who to watch
Fidel Escobar in defence, Cristian Martinez in midfield, and veteran Ismael Diaz still running the line. The squad is young where it matters and the older heads provide the tournament experience.
Why you should care
Red kits are having a moment in 2026 (see also: Morocco, South Korea, Spain) and Panama’s is the minimalist pick. Lovely photographed in sunshine.
