Both sides were eliminated by Mexico in the Gold Cup's knockout stages, with Miguel Herrera's men recipients of dubious penalty decisions in each fixture.
Panama's football federation (Fepafut) president Pedro Chaluja claimed he had the support of Concacaf president Alfredo Hawit - who is occupying the role in the interim, after predecessor Jeffrey Webb left the role in May when he was arrested and indicted for racketeering, conspiracy and corruption.
"Their president, Hawit, has expressed his support for us," Chaluja said at a news conference.
"It is not just Panama asking for an investigation, it is Costa Rica as well."
Chaluja clarified his claims of corruption were not directed at Mexico but is adamant that outside parties contrived to fix the semi-final.
He added: "Sadly, we share the disillusion of having to call attention to the poor refereeing decisions that were deliberate and motivated by an intention to protect third parties.
