Ghana arrive in Toronto ahead of World Cup opener against Panama

The Black Stars have arrived in Toronto ahead of their opening match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Panama at BMO Field on Wednesday.

Ghana landed on Monday afternoon after completing their final phase of preparations in the United States, where the squad has been based since an international friendly against Wales earlier this month.

Head coach Carlos Queiroz and his technical team used the training camp to focus on tactics, fitness, and team cohesion, with all 26 players taking part in full training sessions.

Ghana head into the tournament with no reported injury concerns.

The squad are due to hold their official training session at BMO Field on Tuesday evening as they complete preparations for their Group L opener.

Wednesday’s match, which kicks off at 23:00 GMT, will be Ghana’s fifth appearance at a FIFA World Cup and the first senior international meeting between Ghana and Panama.

The Black Stars will be aiming for a strong start to their campaign before facing England in their second group match at Gillette Stadium in Boston on June 23.
