The Ghana national football team enters the FIFA World Cup 2026 with high hopes, with Premier League star Antoine Semenyo leading the charge. They will begin their campaign with an important clash against Panama on Wednesday, June 17. Ghana, however, will miss their key midfielder, Mohammed Kudus. In this situation, they will depend on Semenyo’s experience of playing the highest level of English football. Panama also showed their strength in the warm-up matches ahead of the World Cup. After a heavy 6-2 defeat to Brazil, they beat the Dominican Republic 4-2 and drew 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Panama will be looking to carry the momentum in the tournament opener.
