Panama and Croatia set for first-ever competitive meeting.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway with its second round of group stage fixtures, Panama are set to face Croatia in a must-win Group L clash at the Toronto Stadium in Ontario, Canada.
Panama, returning to the competition after eight years, are all set to make its second-ever World Cup appearance. They will target to secure the nation’s first World Cup points and make a deep run in the tournament. They had a heartbreaking start to their 2026 World Cup campaign, suffering a last-minute defeat, conceding a 95th-minute winner.
Croatia, one of the best-performing nations in recent editions, finishing as runners-up in 2018 and a third-place finish in the 2022 edition.

The nation’s most crucial player will undoubtedly be Luka Modrić, with the veteran midfielder dictating the tempo of the game.
