Central American side Panama landed in Saransk, Russia, on Thursday (June 7) as they gear up for their first ever World Cup campaign.
Panama emerged from their Concacaf group in third place, ahead of Honduras and USA, after Roman Torres’ late goal beat already-qualified Costa Rica in their final qualification game last October.
Captain Torres led the players off the plane and they were soon followed by head coach, Hernan Dario Gomez.
