About This Match
Panama face Croatia in the Group Stage of Group L on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. Panama are ranked #34 in the world and managed by Thomas Christiansen; Croatia sit at #11 under Zlatko DaliΔ. The match kicks off at 19:00 local time at BMO Field in Toronto.
Panama
Panama make their third consecutive World Cup appearance in 2026, cementing their status as a genuine CONCACAF force after a rapid rise in Central American football. Los Canaleros, coached by Danish-born Thomas Christiansen, qualified with a mix of MLS players and Central American-based talent that reflects the growing depth of Panamanian football. Group L against England, Croatia, and Ghana is their toughest group in three World Cup cycles, but Panama's physical, hard-running style makes them competitive opponents who can take points from anyone. Their passionate support base and the national pride invested in each World Cup appearance makes Panama one of the tournament's most colourful participants.
Read Panama preview βCroatia
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 ModriΔ, 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 DaliΔ has maintained Croatia's incredible run of tournament performances, with JoΕ‘ko 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.
