In the opening round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage, Ghana will face Panama at BMO Field in Toronto. Both teams actively played friendlies while preparing for the tournament. The African side lost to Japan 0-2, South Korea 0-1, Austria 1-5, and Germany 1-2. In April, the national team appointed Carlos Queiroz as head coach, and under his leadership, the squad lost 0-2 to Mexico and drew 1-1 with Wales. Panama’s players shared the points with Bolivia in a friendly, lost to Mexico 0-1, exchanged results with South Africa in 1-1 and 2-1 matches, and also suffered a heavy 2-6 defeat against Brazil.

Ghana made its FIFA World Cup debut in 2006 and since then has missed only the 2018 tournament. In the current qualification cycle, the team confidently finished first in its group. In ten qualification rounds, the national side dropped points only in matches against Chad, 1-1, and the Comoros Islands, 0-1. The main attacking force remains forward Jordan Ayew, who was involved in fourteen of his national team’s twenty-three goals. The squad will try to use this experience for a successful start to the tournament.
