The 2026 World Cup will see a high-stakes Group L finale as Croatia battles Ghana on Saturday, June 27, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Croatia, led by captain Luka Modric, aims for another deep tournament run after reaching the final and semifinals in recent World Cups. They began their campaign with a tough loss to England and a victory against Panama.
Ghana enters the match tied with England at the top of Group L, having secured a win against Panama and a draw with England. The African side recently appointed Carlos Queiroz as their manager. However, controversy surrounds the team due to allegations against vice-captain Thomas Partey.
With only one point separating Croatia from the leading duo, this match is pivotal. A victory or a draw would guarantee Croatia a spot in the Round of 32. The top two teams from each group, along with the best third-place finishers, will advance in the expanded 48-team tournament.
