Panama has dropped to 46th place in the FIFA world rankings October 7th. La Roja now holds 1,476.97 points, falling two spots from the 44th position they held after the 2026 World Cup.
Managed by Thomas Christiansen, the team remained unbeaten in regular time during their recent Asia tour. They drew 1-1 with India, then with New Zealand, and finally with Ecuador, a match they won 7-6 on penalties to secure third place in the Kirin Cup.
Standing in Concacaf
Despite the drop, Panama remains the fourth-highest ranked team in the Concacaf region. They trail Mexico (10th globally), the United States (16th), and Canada (27th). Costa Rica sits in 54th, followed by Honduras (67th) and Jamaica (69th). Panama's next Nations League opponent, Curaçao, is ranked 80th.
Panama's most recent official match was the 1-1 draw against Ecuador on October 5th. That result is part of a recent run of five games without a win, comprising three draws and two defeats.
The next international fixture is an away trip to face Curaçao on November 9th in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals.
The next FIFA ranking update is scheduled for November 18th, following the completion of the November international window.
