By Simon Asare

Accra, June 16, GNA – The Black Stars of Ghana have arrived in Toronto ahead of Wednesday’s opening Group L clash against Panama at BMO Field in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 

Ghana’s squad touched down on Monday afternoon after wrapping up their pre-tournament preparations in the United States, where they have been camped since their international friendly against Wales in Cardiff earlier this month. 

Head coach Carlos Queiroz and his technical team used the training camp to fine-tune tactics and build match fitness, with all 26 players participating fully in sessions.  

The team has reported no injury concerns ahead of the opening fixture. 

The Black Stars are scheduled to hold their official training session at BMO Field on Tuesday evening. 

Wednesday’s encounter would mark Ghana’s fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup and their first-ever senior meeting with Panama. 

Ghana would be aiming for a strong start to the tournament before taking on England at Gillette Stadium in Boston on June 23.
