Ghana have officially secured qualification for the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup before kicking a ball in their final Group L match against Croatia.
The Black Stars’ place in the knockout stage was confirmed following results elsewhere in the tournament, which ensured that four points would be enough to guarantee progression under the competition’s expanded 48-team format.
Carlos Queiroz’s side join Egypt, England, Portugal and Paraguay as the latest nations to book their places in the knockout rounds.
Ghana have accumulated four points from their opening two Group L matches after edging Panama 1-0 before producing an impressive goalless draw against tournament favourites England.
Those results left the Black Stars in a strong position, and with the qualification threshold now confirmed, Ghana are guaranteed to advance regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s clash with Croatia.
