Panama basketball and women’s soccer with a bad start, but…

Panamanian athletes do miracles, they are more than special, there are no sports structures, it is necessary to create more internal leagues or National championships which are competitive, which are at a good level.

Given these shortcomings, the representations they must represent Panama, They are the ones who pay the price, as happened in basketball and the women’s national team in Gold Cup W In this beginning of 2024, this as a collective sport until now.

With few sports colosseums in existence, some not suitable for competition, the start of the year has not been so positive in the first months of 2024 for these Panamanian teams.

panama basketball, s “Red sleeveless” looked colorless against Uruguay in the first window, although Cocha Gonzalo García will bring the best available in the country.

Panama he fell in the matches of the first window B group, way to American Championship 2025the first game 99-78, and the second 55-77.

We were not up to par – admitted the coach Gonzalo García de Panlove and added that he will do a camp in the middle of the year to try to improve for the next window which will be in November.

But little can be asked of the national quintet, national tournaments usually last three to four months, and last year 2023 it was not done, we must add to this that the only sports coliseum that meets the conditions for an international tournament is the Roberto Durán Arena.

With the new board headed by Abdiel Blanco, whowho tries to continue with basketball, a sport with nets and hoops, has a lot to do.

If the men’s domestic league has problems with fields, raising the level of football, paying players, the situation in the women’s league is more complicated.

In 2023, Women’s Football League (LFF), fue suspended, it was reactivated this year, but girls soccer with its league still lacks momentum.

Despite Australia and New Zealand’s presence at the 2023 World Cup, Panamanian women’s soccer also has unfinished business.

After a disastrous presentation on golden cup “, Martha Cox, raised her voice, about the lack of a competitive and permanent women’s league, the lack of support, structures.

But the response of President Fepafut, Manuel Arias It was distasteful to call her “fat” and the fact that she didn’t move around the field.

Although Arias told, the damage was already done, and Marta Cox warned her in a statement not to play for the national team. Panamaif another similar situation occurs again.

Panamanian football is without a field, Rommel Fernandez founded in 1970 is being remodeled, and the second playground is Students of the University of Penonomé, but it’s private, the lack of a sports coliseum also takes its toll.
