Former Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston has described the Black Stars’ upcoming clash with England in the 2026 World Cup group stage as an exciting challenge.
Ghana will meet the Three Lions on June 23 at Gillette Stadium in Boston for their second Group L match.

“These are games; I believe the players will be ready for that. Most of the players look up to them, and they play just like the English team, so it will be a tough one and an exciting one as well,” Kingston told SuperSport Blitz.

Kingston also stressed the importance of not underestimating Panama, Ghana’s opening group opponents.

“Everyone is looking up to the game against Panama, but we should not underrate them. Everyone, I believe, is looking forward to these kinds of games, but these teams are such that they work hard,” he added.

Ghana’s Group L campaign begins against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, followed by the England match in Boston on June 23, and concludes against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.

After early exits at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2022 tournament in Qatar, the Black Stars will be eager to make a stronger impact in the expanded 2026 edition.
