Ghana and Panama kick off their World Cup campaigns this Wednesday, June 17, in a late-night showdown leading into Thursday, June 18, as part of the first round of Group L action.

Their best result remains the quarter-final run in 2010. However, they exited at the group stage in both 2014 and 2022.

On the other side, Panama is about to feature in only the second World Cup of its history, after debuting at the 2018 edition hosted in Russia.

Both teams are drawn in Group L, alongside England and Croatia.

For this match, FIFA has appointed a Swedish officiating trio led by Glenn Nyberg. He will be assisted by Mahbod Beigi and Andreas Söderkvist, with Khaled Al-Turais serving as fourth official.
