Find all the essential information about the clash between Panama and Croatia, part of the second round of Group L at the 2026 World Cup: kick-off time, stadium, broadcast channels, and live audio commentary on Foot Africa.

Panama and Croatia face off this Tuesday in a match that is already crucial for their World Cup 2026 campaigns. Both teams suffered defeats in their opening fixtures and must bounce back to keep their hopes of reaching the round of 16 alive.

Croatia, led by their iconic captain Luka Modrić, will be looking to recover after a 4-2 loss to England. Panama, meanwhile, will try to respond after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Ghana. Another loss for either side would seriously jeopardize their ambitions in this fiercely contested group.

FIFA has assigned Gabonese referee Pierre Atcho to officiate this match. He will be supported by compatriots Boris Ditsoga and Amos Abiga. Saudi official Khaled Al-Turais will serve as fourth official, while Mohammed Al-Abkari will act as reserve referee.

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) duties will be handled by Colombia's Nicolás Gallo, assisted by China's Fu Ming. Germany's Bastian Dankert completes the video review team.
