An outline of the participation's of
Panamanian football teams in the different regional tournaments offered by the
CONCACAF. Since
1988,
Panama has been sending at least one team to the competitions, the first appearance by a
Panamanian team was in
1988 CONCACAF Champions' Cup when
Plaza Amador played in the first round. This was prior to the creation of the
ANAPROF (
Panama's top
football league) in
1988. From
1989 ANAPROF has been sending two teams to participate in the different regional tournaments, usually the top and runner-up teams of the previous year of competition. Except in the
1995 and
1996 championship of the
CONCACAF Champions' Cup because there was a schism in
Panamanian football as both the
ANAPROF and
LINFUNA existed as separate leagues.
LINFUNA was recognized by
FIFA, so its champions and runner-ups were sent to the
CONCACAF Champions' Cup instead of
ANAPROF. The two leagues merged in
1997 and
ANAPROF kept sending teams to represent
Panama from there after.
The best runs for a Panamanian team in these competitions was when in 2002 when Árabe Unido finished runner-up in that year's competition of Copa Interclubes UNCAF.
