The Panama women's national futsal team () represents Panama in international women's futsal competitions, and is overseen by la Federación Panameña de Fútbol. History Although there had been previous attempts to establish a women's futsal team, particularly following the success of the men's side, none came to fruition. One such effort occurred ahead of the 2017 Central American Games, when Panama initially registered a women's team for the tournament, only for the Panama Olympic Committee to withdraw it prior to kickoff. The situation remained unchanged until 2022, when FIFA announced the launch of the FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup, with the inaugural edition scheduled for 2025. With an official World Cup on the horizon, Panama registered for the CONCACAF qualifying tournament, the 2025 CONCACAF W Futsal Championship. In April 2025, the team made its international debut with a 6–2 victory over Cuba, with Maritza Escartín scoring the first goal in the team's history. After defeating host nation Guatemala 4–3 in their second group match, Las Canaleras secured a place in the semi-finals. Despite losing their final group game to Mexico, the team bounced back to defeat Group A winners Costa Rica 3–1 to qualify for their first-ever FIFA Futsal World Cup, to be held in the Philippines. The Panamanian historic run ended with an 8–2 loss to Canada in the final, earning them a runner-up finish in their international debut.
