21st century World Cup stalwarts Ghana made amends for missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by securing their place at this summer's tournament with relative ease.
The Black Stars have been plagued by off-field controversy in the lead-up to their opening match against Panama, with Carlos Queiroz's contentious decision to select Thomas Partey sparking an ongoing saga surrounding his visa clearance to enter Canada.
16 years ago, Ghana was a single penalty kick away from becoming the first African side to reach the World Cup semifinals. Today, the nation sits 73rd in FIFA's global rankings and is simply hoping to avoid embarrassment on North American soil.
With difficult clashes against England and Croatia still to come, Queiroz's squad absolutely must claim victory on Wednesday evening to have any realistic hope of progressing to the knockout rounds. That said, Panama is far from the easy opponent it was eight years ago.
This side has developed considerably under Thomas Christiansen's guidance, and they are determined to write their own chapter in history this summer.
Here's how you can follow Wednesday night's action from anywhere in the world.

What's Next for Ghana, Panama?

Two European heavyweights await these sides next. Croatia may not strictly qualify as a "heavyweight," yet it has featured in both the final and the semifinals at consecutive World Cups.
Panama remains in Toronto to take on Croatia the following Tuesday, while Ghana faces tournament favorite England at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. just a few hours earlier.
