FIFA World Cup 2026 June 24 fixtures (IST): England vs Ghana (1:30 am), Panama vs Croatia (4:30 am), Colombia vs DR Congo (7:30 am)

The FIFA World Cup 2026 action continues on Wednesday, June 24, with three matches across Groups K and L.

 

Group L leaders England and Ghana headline the day's schedule in a battle that could seal a place in the round of 32. Later, Panama and Croatia meet in a must-win contest, before Colombia take on DR Congo in Group K.

 

With the group stage entering a decisive phase, teams will be looking to strengthen their chances of progressing to the knockout rounds.

England and Ghana battle for early knockout berth

England and Ghana head into their Group L meeting after winning their opening matches. Thomas Tuchel's England began their campaign with a 4-2 victory over Croatia, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Jude Bellingham also finding the net. Ghana, meanwhile, edged Panama 1-0 thanks to a late winner and have revived hopes of reaching the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.

 

 

A victory for either side would move them closer to securing qualification from Group L. Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has built a compact, counter-attacking side, with Antoine Semenyo emerging as one of the Black Stars' key threats.

Panama and Croatia seek first points

The second Group L fixture pits Panama against Croatia in Toronto.

 

Both teams suffered defeats in their opening games, with Panama losing narrowly to Ghana and Croatia conceding four goals in a 4-2 defeat to England. Another loss would leave either side on the brink of elimination, making the encounter crucial for their hopes of advancing.

 

Veteran Luka Modric is expected to spearhead Croatia's challenge, while Panama will hope their attacking display improves after creating several chances in their opener. 

Colombia look to continue winning start against DR Congo

The day's final match sees Colombia face DR Congo in Group K.

 

Colombia opened their campaign with a convincing victory over Uzbekistan, while DR Congo held Portugal to a draw and will be aiming to build on that encouraging result. Three points would significantly boost either side's chances of joining Portugal in the knockout stage.
