Ghana meet Panama in Group L of the 2026 World Cup. Kudus-inspired Black Stars with the talent to trouble anyone on their day.
Panama arrive with their own plan. Battling CONCACAF side that defends deep and competes hard. The match-up between Mohammed Kudus and Adalberto Carrasquilla is the headline individual battle.
On paper Ghana have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
