The Black Stars of Ghana have arrived in Toronto as they step up preparations for their 2026 FIFA World Cup opening Group L fixture against Panama.

The squad moved into the Canadian city on Monday after wrapping up their training camp in Rhode Island.

The team had been based in the United States since their international friendly against Wales in Cardiff earlier this month.

Head coach Carlos Queiroz and his technical staff used the US-based camp to fine-tune tactics and build match fitness, with all 26 players reported to have taken part in full training sessions and no injury concerns recorded.

Ghana will hold a mandatory official training session at BMO Field on Tuesday evening, ahead of Wednesday’s opening match on June 17.

The clash will mark the first-ever senior international meeting between Ghana and Panama.

After the opener, the Black Stars will shift focus to a tougher Group L test against England at Gillette Stadium on June 23, before wrapping up their group campaign against Croatia on June 27.

Ghana are aiming to break a long-standing group-stage barrier, having exited at the first hurdle in both the 2014 and 2022 editions of the tournament, and are targeting a return to the knockout rounds for the first time since 2010.
