A first winner of the Concacaf Nations League will be crowned on Sunday in Sofi Stadium, where Mexico and Panama are confronted in the final of the competition, since both focus on a win with the World Cup 2026 in North America on the Horizon. Mexico, one of the co-hosts of next summer’s competition, takes their third CNL final as the overwhelming favorites, while Panama will compete for the first time in the final of this tournament.
Mexico booked a place in the final afterwards A 2-0 win over CanadaWho devised an energetic performance but were less clinical than El Tri. Raul Jimenez stole the show with a brace and gave Mexico in the opening minute before he supplements it with a second half goal. He, in addition to the in-form AC Milan goal scorer Santiago Gimenez, will be counted to help Mexico win their first trophy since the Gold Cup 2023 when they missed a handful of their top players. A win for Mexico will come in the game on Sunday with a big voice of trust for Javier Aguirre, who started his third Stint over the team in October and was commissioned to rejuvenate a team that has been impressed by the Golden Standard of Concacaf in recent years.
In the meantime, Panama will strive for a second strong performance of the week after their surprise 1-0 win over the national team of the American gentlemen, the only earlier winner of the competition. They are undoubtedly the underdogs, but their upward process in recent years means that they should not be underestimated, especially under Thomas Christiansen. This will be their second final in continental competitions under the head coach, who has steadily helped them to beat their weight and now has one match away from their first major trophy ever.
