Concacaf Gold Cup 2021: Panama's roster and the list of players who could play the tournament

The Panamanian National Team is preparing for what will be the Concacaf Gold Cup, and has already presented a preliminary list of players, who may have the honor of representing their country, in an extremely important tournament for the territory of Central and North America.

This first list will undoubtedly be refined, until the team that will finally have the honor of representing their colors is chosen. However, in the 47 names that we have today, some stand out such as Thomas Christiansen, Manuel Gamboa and Pavlos Correa, so that little by little there are indications of how that first starting team would form.

How many players can be part of the final list?

According to the regulations imposed by Concacaf, the list should be shortened, until the 23 possible players are selected, who will finally be those who compete in the competition. Once it has been delivered, changes due to force majeure or injury will only be allowed up to 24 hours before the first game of the group stage of each team, with their respective prior authorization from Concacaf.

How will the tournament be played?

The Gold Cup will begin on July 10, with the initial group stage. In it, 16 teams will look for a place within the 8 that will advance in the contest. For that, they will be divided into 4 groups of 4, and the first 2 will qualify for the next round.
