Rugby union in Panama
It is uncertain when rugby was first introduced to Panama, but it may have been brought in by either Americans, or British and French sailors.At the beginning of 2008, the "Diablos Rojos" were recognised by the Panamanian Sports Institute as an official rugby club in the country as this acts as a platform for Guadalajara 2011.Their training sessions are held in the sport field nicknamed "El Infierno" which is located in Paraiso's neighbourhood where they've already build the Rugby Posts.Diablos Rojos Team A became the 1st champions of the 1st Central American Rugby Sevens Tournament.In December, 2007, Costa Rica A & B sides participated in the First Central American Rugby cup.
