England vs Ghana: All-time head-to-head record ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026
England will face Ghana for the first time in a competitive fixture at the FIFA World Cup
The third game of Group L of FIFA World Cup 2026 will take place at the Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and will feature a crucial clash between England and Ghana. After securing wins in their opening games, both nations will look to continue their streak of registering positive results in this tournament, and we can expect an enthralling and end-to-end encounter.
England, under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel, have improved significantly in terms of their tactical flexibility. They started the game on a slow note against Croatia but utterly dominated the second half after changes made by the German coach.
This was England’s first World Cup encounter against Croatia after suffering a 2-1 loss against them in the 2018 edition of the tournament. Considering Thomas Tuchel’s resume in tournament format and England’s squad depth, the Three Lions are one of the favourites to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana, on the other hand, also scored an extra-time winner against Panama to earn three points. Ghana were winless in their last six games before the start of the tournament and must have gained some confidence after their brilliant display against the North American nation.
The two teams have not met often, but they have locked horns once in the past. In this article, we will take a look at the record of head-to-head matchups between England and Ghana.
