World Cup History
The 2026 World Cup would be César Samudio's first senior World Cup. He has no previous senior World Cup appearances, and his place rests on his inclusion in Panama's confirmed 26 rather than any time on the pitch at the finals yet. A goalkeeper with 4 senior caps and no international goals, he brings that record to the tournament rather than any previous World Cup experience.
