Aníbal Godoy is a Panamanian defensive midfielder, a key orchestrator for both club and country, now playing for San Diego FC in MLS. The 36-year-old enjoyed a highly successful seven-year spell with the Nashville SC, becoming a fan favorite for his combative style and precise passing from deep. Before that, he played in Belgium and for the San Jose Earthquakes. With over 120 caps for Panama, Godoy was instrumental in their 2018 World Cup qualification and subsequent tournament appearance. His main club honor is winning the Campeonato de Verano with Chepo in Panama early in his career. Godoy is the definition of a midfield general, breaking up play and setting the tempo, and his move to San Diego provides the expansion club with immediate leadership and quality.
