Fidel Escobar is a Panamanian centre-back whose career has taken him through MLS with the New York Red Bulls and a stint in the Spanish lower divisions — including spells at Córdoba, Alcorcón, and Cultural Leonesa — before settling at Deportivo Saprissa in Costa Rica, where he has been a consistent presence since 2022. That combination of North American and Spanish football has shaped him into a technically sound defender comfortable in possession. Now 31, he is an experienced option in Panama's central defensive pool, valued for his reading of the game and his ability to organise those around him.
