The Panama national football team is living its second World Cup participation and Joel Williams, a Panamanian league player, has decided to cover the tournament as a photographer after not being called up by coach Thomas Christiansen. Williams, 28, plays for Unión Coclé FC and has had a long career in Panamanian football. The midfielder has confessed that his passion for photography is as great as his love for football. His father, an evangelical pastor, gave him a camera to make Christian music videos, but Williams became a sports photographer. Now, he covers the World Cup as a photographer and follows the Panama national football team in the tournament. The Panama national football team lost its first match against Ghana 1-0 and plays again against Croatia in the early hours of Tuesday to Wednesday. Williams has expressed his enthusiasm for being at the World Cup and has admitted that he has always had his photography business. The player has mentioned that he has friends and former teammates within the Los Canaleros squad, such as José Luis Rodríguez. Williams has persevered in his passion for photography and has made many sacrifices to be at the World Cup. His photography agency, Erudito Photo Sports, is his project for the future. The Panama national football team continues in the tournament and Williams continues to cover each match as a photographer. The player has shown that his love for football and photography is equally great. Now, Williams is preparing for the Opening Tournament of the Panamanian league, which starts on July 1. The midfielder has to return to the country before that date to join his team. The Panama national football team remains an important part of Williams' life, both as a player and as a photographer.
