England lead the pace-setters eyeing Round of 32

England, Ghana, as well as Colombia are all targeting early-stage progress

Portugal aim for their opening Group K victory

Uzbekistan, Croatia, as well as Panama need points on the board

England will look to build on their edge-of-the-seat opening victory over Croatia as they take on Ghana in a clash of the Group L pace-setters, in one of four attractive Matchday 13 fixtures on Tuesday, 23 June.

While either the Three Lions or the Black Stars could seal early-stage progress to the Phase of 32 of FIFA World Cup 2026™ – and potentially secure top spot too – Croatia will be seeking to bounce back from that England loss as they take on Panama.

On the other side, before that, the day will begin with the meeting of Portugal, as well as Uzbekistan in Houston where Roberto Martinez’s men will try again for a opening victory in Group K – and Uzbekistan will target a opening World Cup point. The action will concude with Colombia’s attempt to stamp their ticket to the elimination stage rounds against a Congo DR side who, buoyed by their draw with Portugal, will have other ideas.
