June 27 🏟️ MetLife Stadium, NJ
Panama plays their final group stage match at MetLife Stadium on June 27 against England. For the Panamanian community in New York, this is the local World Cup moment — a chance to see Los Canaleros at the stadium that's practically in their backyard. Panama have shown before that they can compete against higher-ranked opposition, and in a must-win finale for England, the atmosphere will be intense.

The NYC Panama Community
New York has a Panamanian-American community concentrated in the Bronx — particularly in Mott Haven, the South Bronx, and along the Grand Concourse — and in parts of Brooklyn. The community is tightly knit and proud. Panama qualifying for the World Cup is never taken for granted; it's an achievement the community celebrates loudly every time it happens. For the MetLife match against England, expect Panamanian flags alongside the ocean of England white jerseys — the Panamanian community will make their presence felt.
Where to Watch in the Bronx
The Latin American sports bars and restaurants in the Bronx will show every Panama match. The neighborhood around Third Avenue and 149th Street in the South Bronx has a dense concentration of Latin American restaurants and bars that are accustomed to showing CONCACAF and World Cup football. Arrive 30–45 minutes before kickoff for any Panama match.
The June 27 MetLife Match
Panama vs England is England's final group match — they'll likely need a win to secure top spot. For Panama, any points from a group with England, Croatia, and Ghana would be historic. The match will be predominantly England fans in the stands, but the Panamanian community will be visible and vocal. If Panama score, MetLife will be split right down the middle.
