Panama are the tenth CONCACAF side to have qualified for the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Prior to securing a place at Mexico 2011, Panama qualified for three FIFA U-20 World Cups, where they were
eliminated in the opening round of each campaign. Their record from nine matches played stands at one draw
and eight defeats.
The Panama U-17 side is coached by Jorge Dely Valdes who, besides having been one of his country’s most
prolific strikers, also guided Los Canaleros at the finals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007 in Canada.
None of the other nine CONCACAF sides that have competed in the FIFA U-17 World Cup made it past the first
round in their debut participation.
In 2011 Panama recorded their all-time best finish in the CONCACAF U-17 Championship, clinching third
position. The Central Americans qualified for Mexico 2011 with just three goals scored in seven matches and the
same number conceded.
