The Panamanian Baseball Federation (Spanish: Federación Panameña de Béisbol), known as FEDEBEIS, is the official governing body of baseball in Panama. It is in charge of the Panama national baseball team.

FEDEBEIS also organizes amateur baseball championships in the country, including the Campeonato Nacional de Béisbol Mayor (lit. "National Senior Baseball Championship"), which includes teams from all of the country's 12 provinces.[1] The Campeonato Mayor coexists with the Panamanian Professional Baseball League (PROBEIS) as one of two major baseball leagues in the country, and rivals PROBEIS in terms of attendance and popularity.[2][3] Certain provincial teams, such as Panamá Metro, have participated in both leagues.[4]

History

[edit]

The first senior league championship was held at Panama's Olympic Stadium (the modern Estadio Juan Demóstenes Arosemena), with Panamá Province taking the inaugural championship; Panamá would become the most dominant team in the tournament, accumulating 26 championships through 2026. Starting in 1978, Chiriquí emerged as a force in the league, with legendary figures like Virgilio Kaa, Oscar Osorio, and Rodolfo “Candelilla” Aparicio, among others. Another intense rivalry emerged as the Clásico de Azuero, between Herrera and Los Santos.[5]

Senior league champions

[edit]

Panamá Province was divided into Panamá Metro and Panamá Oeste in 1975, with Panamá Metro retaining the previous team's titles. The provincial teams of Darién, Panamá Oeste y Chiriquí Occidente are the only ones that have never won a championship as of 2024.
