EnglandvsGhana

England and Ghana drew 0–0.

England met Ghana in Group L of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at Boston Stadium in Foxborough on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. It is one of the six matches in Group L, where the four sides each play three games and the top two advance directly to the Round of 32. With the eight best third-placed teams across the 12 groups also progressing, points here carry real weight from the opening whistle.

England go in ranked 4th in the FIFA World Ranking to Ghana's 73rd — a gap of 69 places that marks England out as clear favourites on paper. It is an inter-confederation meeting — England of UEFA against Ghana of CAF — the kind of contrast in styles the World Cup exists to stage.

England approach the 2026 World Cup with a squad widely regarded as one of the most talented generations in the country's history, yet still haunted by near-misses at recent major tournaments. Runners-up at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024, and semifinalists at the 2018 World Cup, the Three Lions have consistently been among the last teams standing without quite crossing the finish line.

Ghana have been one of Africa's most consistent World Cup performers, with the Black Stars known for their athleticism, pace, and technical quality. Ghanaian football has produced a remarkable pipeline of talent for European clubs, and the current squad continues this tradition with players competing across the continent's top leagues.

England: England won their sole World Cup in 1966, famously beating West Germany 4-2 in the final at Wembley, with Geoff Hurst scoring a hat-trick that included the controversial third goal. Ghana: Ghana have appeared at four World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022.

The match is scheduled at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, United States. Kickoff is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at 08:00 PM (04:00 PM ET).
