21st century World Cup regulars Ghana atoned for its failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by advancing to this summer’s tournament without too much fuss.

The Black Stars have been beset by off-field tumult in the build-up to their opening game against Panama, with Carlos Queiroz’s controversial selection of Thomas Partey leading to the current debacle regarding his visa status for entry into Canada.

16 years ago, Ghana was a successful penalty away from becoming the first African nation to reach the World Cup semifinals. Now, it sits 73rd in FIFA’s world rankings and is hopeful of avoiding humiliation in North America.

With tougher tests against England and Croatia upcoming, Queiroz’s side simply must prevail on Wednesday night to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages. However, Panama is not the walkover it was eight years ago.

This team has improved drastically under Thomas Christiansen’s watch, and they’re out to make history this summer.

Here’s how you can keep up with Wednesday night’s action around the globe.

It’s the pair of European powerhouses for these two next. Well, Croatia certainly shouldn’t be regarded as a "powerhouse" as such, but it has reached the final and semifinals at back-to-back World Cups.

Panama is staying in Toronto to face Croatia next Tuesday, while Ghana faces one of the favorites, England, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. a few hours before.
