IN SHORT
Román Torres will forever be associated with the iconic goal that allowed Panama to take part in its first World Cup. But his path began much earlier, back when he was selling fish alongside his father and playing baseball before switching to football. He wanted to be a forward but tried out for the national team as a defender. He was in and ready for glory! Today, Román helps young people through education.
