Accra, June 16, GNA \u2013 The Black Stars of Ghana have arrived in Toronto ahead of Wednesday\u2019s opening Group L clash against Panama at BMO Field in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s squad touched down on Monday afternoon after wrapping up their pre-tournament preparations in the United States, where they have been camped since their international friendly against Wales in Cardiff earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Head coach Carlos Queiroz and his technical team used the training camp to fine-tune tactics and build match fitness, with all 26 players participating fully in sessions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team has reported no injury concerns ahead of the opening fixture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Black Stars are scheduled to hold their official training session at BMO Field on Tuesday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s encounter would mark Ghana\u2019s fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup and their first-ever senior meeting with Panama.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ghana would be aiming for a strong start to the tournament before taking on England at Gillette Stadium in Boston on June 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
