About This Match
Croatia face Ghana in the Group Stage of Group L on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Croatia are ranked #11 in the world and managed by Zlatko Daliฤ; Ghana sit at #74 under Otto Addo. The match kicks off at 17:00 local time at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Croatia
Croatia, one of the greatest small-nation success stories in World Cup history, arrive at 2026 to defend the legacy of their extraordinary 2018 run to the final - and their remarkable third-place finishes in 1998 and 2022. Captain Luka Modriฤ, widely considered one of the greatest midfielders of all time, plays in his fifth World Cup at age 40, providing inspiration and technical leadership to a squad that will need his experience and class. Coach Zlatko Daliฤ has maintained Croatia's incredible run of tournament performances, with Joลกko Gvardiol emerging as one of Europe's best young defenders. Group L against England, Panama, and Ghana is Croatia's clearest path to the knockout rounds, where they become a different team entirely.
Read Croatia preview โGhana
Ghana, the only African nation to reach a World Cup quarter-final this millennium (South Africa 2010), arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a renewed sense of purpose under the returning Otto Addo. The Black Stars have a proud World Cup tradition and a talented squad - Arsenal's Thomas Partey brings Premier League class in midfield, while the mercurial Mohammed Kudus and the electric Kamaldeen Sulemana provide attacking flair. Group L against England, Croatia, and Panama is a balanced draw where Ghana can realistically challenge for a knockout place. West Africa's most successful World Cup nation, Ghana carry the hopes of the continent alongside Morocco and Senegal.
