Amir Murillo

Amir Murillo is in Thomas Christiansen's 26-man Panama squad for the 2026 World Cup, a right-back who plays his club football for Beşiktaş JK in Turkey. He goes into the finals at 30, one of Panama's most experienced and most-capped internationals, having qualified by winning their CONCACAF third-round group in November 2025.

A modern attacking right-back, Murillo gets forward to support the play with overlapping runs down the flank. He has 92 senior caps and 9 international goals for Panama, and joined Beşiktaş in 2025 after earlier spells with Olympique Marseille and Anderlecht. His record this season reads 40 club appearances and 4 goals. The draw places Panama in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Ghana, and they open against Ghana in Toronto on 17 June.

A modern attacking right-back, Murillo gets forward to support the play with overlapping runs down the right flank. Getting up and down that side is the core of his game, offering Panama width and an attacking outlet when they push forward. He is right-footed and stands 1.85 m, and has logged 2,706 club minutes for Beşiktaş JK this season, going into the group stage in Thomas Christiansen's squad at the age of 30.

Murillo's work for Panama comes down the right flank, where he plays as an attacking full-back who gets forward to support the play with overlapping runs. That gives the side width and an extra man going forward when they break, and he chips in at the other end too, with 4 goals this season and 9 international goals across his Panama career. On the Goal Rush card Panama are a Tier 4 side at £10m, one of the lower bands on the card.
