The Black Stars of Ghana will take on England today in a pivotal Group L encounter at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both teams seeking to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage.
Ghana head into the match with confidence after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening group game, thanks to a late winner from Caleb Yirenkyi.
England also began their campaign on a winning note, defeating Croatia 4-2 to move level with Ghana at the top of Group L.
The clash is expected to be one of the most closely watched fixtures of the group stage, with a victory potentially securing a place in the Round of 32 for either side.
England manager Thomas Tuchel has described Ghana as a dangerous counterattacking team and urged his players to remain focused and disciplined.
Ghana will be boosted by the availability of midfielder Thomas Partey, who missed the opening match against Panama but has declared himself ready for selection after resolving the issues that kept him out of the first game.
The match, which will be played at Gillette Stadium near Boston, marks the first competitive meeting between Ghana and England.
The only previous encounter between the two nations was an international friendly at Wembley in 2011, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
With qualification prospects on the line and national pride at stake, the Black Stars will be hoping to produce another memorable performance against one of the tournament favourites.
