Senegal and Iraq head into their final Group I clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup knowing that victory is crucial if they are to keep alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage as one of the tournament’s best third-placed teams.

The two nations will meet at BMO Field in Toronto on Friday in a high-pressure encounter, with both sides still searching for their first win of the competition after difficult starts to the tournament.

For Senegal, expectations were significantly higher heading into what is their third consecutive World Cup appearance. However, defeats to France (3-1) and Norway (3-2) have left the Lions of Teranga on the brink of an early exit.

Another defeat would mark the first time Senegal have lost all three matches in a single World Cup campaign. Their defensive struggles have also become a major concern after conceding at least three goals in consecutive matches for the first time this century.

Despite those setbacks, Senegal still have reasons to believe. The West Africans have kept eight clean sheets in their last ten international victories, and with qualification as a third-placed team still mathematically possible, they remain firmly focused on securing the result they need.

Iraq, meanwhile, are competing in only its second World Cup finals appearance in their history. Although qualification for the tournament itself was celebrated as a major achievement, defeats against Norway (4-1) and France (3-0) exposed the challenge of competing in one of the competition’s toughest groups.

The heavy losses have severely damaged Iraq’s goal difference, leaving them in an even more difficult position than Senegal. Their progression is no longer fully in their own hands, and even a victory may not be enough to secure a place in the round of 32.

Defensive improvement will be crucial if Iraq are to have any chance of producing a surprise result. However, they have managed just one clean sheet in their last eight international matches, a statistic that underlines the scale of the challenge awaiting them in Toronto.

Friday’s encounter will also be the first-ever meeting between the two nations. Senegal, however, are unbeaten in their previous World Cup matches against Asian opposition, recording one win and one draw in those encounters.

Senegal possible starting lineup: Diaw; Diatta, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Diouf; Camara, I Gueye, P Gueye; Sarr, Jackson, Mane.

Iraq possible starting lineup: Basil; Ali, Tahseen, Hashem, Doski; Ismail, Al-Ammari, Iqbal; Qasem, Al-Hamadi, Bayesh.

The match between Senegal and Iraq is scheduled for Friday, June 26, with kick-off set for 19:00 GMT.

Tunisia head into their final Group F match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with only pride left to fight for as they prepare to face the Netherlands at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday.

The Eagles of Carthage have already been eliminated from the tournament following consecutive defeats, while the Dutch arrive in Kansas City aiming to secure top spot in the group and continue their impressive World Cup run.

The new tournament regulations, which prioritise head-to-head results over goal difference, confirmed Tunisia’s exit before the final round, leaving the North African side unable to recover their position in the standings.

Tunisia’s campaign suffered another major setback after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Japan, a match in which they failed to register a single shot on target. The result made them only the fourth team in World Cup history to lose two matches by four or more goals in the same tournament, and the first since Greece in 1994.

The statistics further highlight the difficult run currently facing Hervé Renard’s side. Tunisia have now lost their last four matches and have managed only one victory in their previous nine games across all competitions.

Their overall World Cup record also reflects those struggles, with the Eagles of Carthage winning only three of their 20 matches on football’s biggest stage.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, enter the clash in dominant form after a commanding 5-1 victory over Sweden in their previous outing. That result virtually secured qualification for the knockout stage and extended the Oranje’s unbeaten World Cup streak to 14 consecutive matches, with nine wins and five draws during that run, excluding penalty shootout defeats.

No nation has ever produced a longer unbeaten sequence in World Cup history.

Ronald Koeman’s side have also been ruthlessly efficient in front of goal during the tournament, converting seven of their 20 shots so far, their best scoring rate at a World Cup since 1966.

Despite their attacking strength, defensive concerns remain a minor issue for the Dutch after conceding in each of their last six matches across all competitions.

Historically, the Netherlands have enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture. The Dutch are unbeaten in three previous meetings with Tunisia, recording one win and two draws, while they have never lost a World Cup match against African opposition.

Tunisia, on the other hand, have won only one of their 13 World Cup encounters against European teams.

Tunisia's possible starting lineup: Dahmen; Valery, Rekik, Talbi, Ali Abdi; Skhiri; Slimane, Hannibal; Chaouat, Saad, Mastouri.

Netherlands possible starting lineup: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, Van Hecke, Van de Ven; De Jong, Reijnders, Gravenberch; Malen, Brobbey, Gakpo.

The match between Tunisia and the Netherlands will take place on Thursday, June 25, with kick-off scheduled for 23:00 GMT.

Curacao and Ivory Coast face off in their decisive final Group E clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday, with both sides chasing a historic achievement at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

The Elephants are aiming to secure a place in the round of 32 for the first time in their history, while Curacao continue their remarkable underdog journey and remain in contention to produce one of the tournament’s biggest surprises.

Curacao head into the encounter boosted by a key result after earning their first-ever FIFA World Cup point in a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Ecuador. Despite facing heavy pressure and allowing 27 shots, the Blue Wave survived thanks largely to an outstanding display from goalkeeper Eloy Room.

That result kept alive the possibility of Curacao becoming the lowest-ranked nation ever to reach the knockout stage of a World Cup. However, they are likely to need victory against Ivory Coast to turn that dream into reality.

Recent form has been inconsistent for the Caribbean side, who have won just one of their last seven matches while drawing twice and losing four times. Nevertheless, they have managed to score in four of their last five games, although three of those matches ended in defeats by margins of three goals or more.

Ivory Coast, meanwhile, arrive in Philadelphia determined to respond after suffering a painful 2-1 defeat to Germany in their previous outing. The Elephants had been on course to secure qualification before conceding a decisive goal in the 94th minute.

Despite that setback, the African side remain favourites to progress and are seeking to record two wins in the same World Cup tournament for the first time. However, pressure could become a factor for a team whose last four international matches have all been decided by a single-goal margin.

One encouraging statistic for Ivory Coast is their attacking consistency on the global stage. Among nations that have played at least three World Cup matches, the Elephants boast the highest scoring percentage, having found the net in 10 of their 11 World Cup games.

Thursday’s clash will also mark a historic first meeting between the two nations. It will be Curaçao’s first-ever match against African opposition, while Ivory Coast are preparing for their first World Cup encounter against a CONCACAF nation.

Ranked 31st in the FIFA World Rankings, Ivory Coast enter the game as favourites against a Curacao side positioned 50 places below them. However, with qualification still hanging in the balance, the Elephants will be wary of underestimating a team already making history in the tournament.

Curacao possible starting lineup: Room; Brenet, Gaari, Obispo, Floranus, Fonville; Chong, Comenencia, L. Bacuna, J. Bacuna; Locadia.

Ivory Coast possible starting lineup: Y. Fofana; Doue, Kossounou, Agbadou, Konan; Sangare, Kessie, Inao Oulai; Diallo, Bonny, Diomande.

The match between Curacao and Ivory Coast is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, with kick-off set for 20:00 GMT.

Despite England dominating possession with 79% of the ball, Ghana's defensive discipline kept the Three Lions at bay.

The Black Stars also threatened on the break, with one particular counterattack almost resulting in a winning goal.

Reflecting on the moment, Semenyo admitted that the opportunity unfolded too quickly.

"It happened so fast, I tried to move out of the way. We get forward really quickly. We're unlucky not to get that goal," he said.

The Manchester City forward acknowledged that Ghana spent long periods without the ball but insisted the team executed their game plan perfectly.

"We defended for most of the game. We knew it would be like that. We needed to stay in our shape and put our bodies on the line. We did that today," Semenyo added.

The draw leaves Ghana level on four points with England at the top of Group L, with Croatia just one point behind. A point against Croatia in their final group match would almost certainly secure Ghana's place in the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.

For Semenyo and his teammates, the focus now shifts to finishing the job against Croatia and making history.

England dominated possession with 79% of the ball – the highest recorded by a team that failed to score in a World Cup match in six decades – but were unable to break down Ghana's stubborn defence.

"We defended for most of the game. We knew it would be like that. We needed to stay in our shape and put our bodies on the line. We did that today," Semenyo said.

The Manchester City forward acknowledged that it was not an easy night for Ghana's attackers, who were often required to work defensively rather than focus on creating chances.

"Every attacker wants to be on the ball rather than off the ball, but it's what the team needed. It was tough today. Props to the team; we knew we wouldn't have much of the ball and go forward as much as we wanted to. Hopefully, we can go on to get through."

Despite their defensive focus, Ghana still threatened on the counterattack and came close to snatching all three points. Reflecting on one such opportunity, Semenyo admitted the moment unfolded too quickly for him to react perfectly.

"It happened so fast, I tried to move out of the way. We get forward really quickly. We're unlucky not to get that goal."

The Black Stars of Ghana joined an exclusive African World Cup record after keeping clean sheets in their opening two matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The two clean sheets saw Ghana become only the fifth African team in tournament history to achieve the feat.

The Black Stars began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Panama before holding England to a goalless draw in the second round on Tuesday.

Only a handful of African nations have managed to complete their first two World Cup matches without allowing a goal. Cameroon were the first to achieve the milestone during the 1982 edition before Morocco repeated the feat in 1986.

Nigeria later joined the list at the 2014 World Cup, while Morocco became the first African nation to accomplish it twice after another strong defensive start in the 2022 tournament.

Ghana have now added their name to that historic sequence in the 2026 edition.

Nations africaines ayant encaissé aucun but après leurs 2 premiers matchs d'une édition à la Coupe du Monde :

Despite their defensive solidity, Ghana’s attacking struggles have continued to attract attention throughout the tournament. The Black Stars are currently the only team at the 2026 World Cup yet to register a single shot during the first half of any match they have played.

The numbers also place Ghana alongside another unwanted World Cup record. According to Opta, they have become only the second team in tournament history to complete two consecutive first halves without recording a single attempt on goal, matching the mark set by Costa Rica during the 1990 World Cup.

While questions remain about their attacking output, Ghana’s defensive organisation has so far kept their World Cup hopes alive heading into the decisive final round of the group stage.

The Black Stars will return to action on Saturday in a final Group L encounter against Croatia.

Speaking after the match, Mensah highlighted Partey's leadership and defensive awareness as key factors in Ghana's resilient performance, which frustrated a star-studded England attack.

"Thomas Partey played an important role in shielding the defence and helping to maintain the team's structure throughout the game," Mensah noted.

Partey returned to the starting lineup for the first time in the tournament after being denied entry into Canada for Ghana's opening match against Panama due to visa issues. His presence in midfield proved crucial as the Black Stars held England to a goalless stalemate.

The draw leaves England and Ghana level on four points at the top of Group L, with England leading on goal difference. Croatia are third with three points, while Panama are bottom without a point.

Mensah also praised Ghana's defensive organisation, which he described as the foundation of the result. He highlighted the team's compact shape and the cohesion between the midfield and defensive units, which limited England's space in attacking areas.

Looking ahead, Mensah warned that Ghana's final group match against Croatia on Saturday will present a different challenge.

"Croatia are a very efficient and technically gifted side. Ghana will have to remain disciplined and organised throughout the match," he said.

England added Ghana to a growing list of opponents after playing out a 0-0 draw in the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage.

The result saw the Three Lions extend an unwanted record in the history of the tournament.

The stalemate on Tuesday marked England’s 13th goalless draw at the FIFA World Cup. It is the highest number recorded by any national team in the competition, according to Opta statistics.

The latest result continued a trend that has followed the Three Lions across different generations and World Cup eras, with several major football nations contributing to the record over the years.

England’s first scoreless draw at the World Cup came against Brazil during the 1958 edition. Four years later, they were again held to a goalless result by Bulgaria at the 1962 tournament.

During the 1966 World Cup, which England eventually won on home soil, they also played out a 0-0 draw against Uruguay in the group stage.

The record continued to grow in the 1982 edition, where England registered two goalless matches against West Germany and Spain. Morocco then joined the list after holding England to a scoreless draw at the 1986 World Cup.

Years later, Algeria frustrated England with another 0-0 result during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. England’s sequence of goalless World Cup draws also includes matches against the Netherlands in 1990, Nigeria in 2002, Portugal in 2006, Costa Rica in 2014, and the United States during the 2022 edition.

Ghana have now become the latest nation to keep England scoreless on football’s biggest stage following Tuesday’s encounter in the 2026 tournament.

England have been involved in 13 goalless draws at the World Cup - more than any other side:

▪️ England 0-0 Brazil, 1958 ▪️ England 0-0 Bulgaria, 1962 ▪️ England 0-0 Uruguay, 1966 ▪️ England 0-0 West Germany, 1982 ▪️ England 0-0 Spain, 1982 ▪️ England 0-0 Morocco, 1986 ▪️… pic.twitter.com/aS23QxSzaY

Speaking after Ghana's impressive goalless draw with England, Mensah praised the Black Stars' defensive structure but warned that Croatia would present a different kind of challenge.

"Croatia are a very efficient and technically gifted side. Ghana will have to remain disciplined and organised throughout the match," Mensah said.

The Black Stars produced a resolute defensive display to hold England to a goalless draw, frustrating the Three Lions' star-studded attack. However, Mensah believes Croatia's style of play will require a similar level of concentration.

He highlighted the importance of structure and endurance, noting that tournaments are often won by teams that can execute their plans effectively rather than those with the most talent.

"Croatia will be a tough opponent, but if Ghana can maintain the discipline they showed against England, they have a strong chance of securing a positive result," he added.

The result leaves Ghana level on points with England at the top of Group L, with Croatia just one point behind. A draw against Croatia would almost certainly secure Ghana's place in the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.

For the Black Stars, the message is clear: discipline and organisation will be key to continuing their historic run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking after the match, Herbert Mensah said Ghana's performance demonstrated the importance of structure, concentration and tactical execution against stronger opponents.

Viewing the game from the perspective of a sports administrator, Herbert argued that football, like all elite sports, requires a long-term strategic approach that balances talent with organisation.

"England is stronger than Ghana, but tournaments are not always won by the strongest team. They are won by teams that can endure and execute their plans effectively," he said.

Herbert highlighted the impact of Ghana's defensive setup, commonly referred to as a "low block", which involved the team maintaining a compact shape and limiting England's space in attacking areas. According to him, Ghana's midfield and defensive lines worked effectively together to frustrate England's attack throughout the match.

He also commended several younger players for their composure in dealing with England's attacking threats and set-piece situations.

Looking ahead, Herbert warned that Ghana's next group match against Croatia would present a different challenge. He described Croatia as one of the most technically accomplished teams in international football and cautioned that Ghana would need to maintain the same level of discipline and tactical organisation to secure a positive result.

"Croatia are a very efficient and technically gifted side. Ghana will have to remain disciplined and organised throughout the match," he said.

The result leaves Ghana still in contention for a place in the knockout stages, with the Black Stars needing another strong performance against Croatia to strengthen their qualification hopes. England leads Group L with 4 points, the same as Ghana but with superior goals, followed by Croatia (3 points) and Panama, with zero points, having lost both games against Ghana and Croatia.

Ghana will take on Croatia while England play Panama on Saturday, in the final group games.

The official vehicle partner of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), JAC Motors, has rewarded Black Stars midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi following his Man of the Match performance in the opening game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Yirenkyi scored the only goal of the game as the Black Stars defeated Panama to pick up their first win of the tournament. While the goal was the icing on the cake, his performance on the day saw him crowned Ghana's best player on the day, picking the first of many MVP awards to be given out by JAC Motors.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been a revelation for the Black Stars, and his performance against Panama was a testament to his growing influence. His goal, coming in the 95th minute, secured a vital three points for Ghana and set the tone for their World Cup campaign.

The JAC Motors MVP award is part of a broader partnership between the GFA and the automobile brand, which will see champions and top performers in Ghanaian football receive rewards. This initiative aims to incentivise excellence and support the development of the game in Ghana.

For Yirenkyi, the award is a just reward for a performance that will be remembered for years to come. His goal and all-round display have already made him a fan favourite and a key figure in Carlos Queiroz's squad.

The Black Stars have gone on to hold England to 0-0 in their second game and are hoping to record another positive result in their final group game against Croatia slated for June 27.

The Black Stars produced one of the most disciplined performance at the World Cup to hold England to a goalless draw on Tuesday evening.

The draw puts Ghana in second position right behind England, who are top on goal difference.

Meanwhile, Croatia gave their chances of progressing to the knockout stage a huge boost after beating Panama later on Tuesday.

"Everything is much easier after a win. Now it would be best to continue like that, but we have a game ahead of us that won't be easy, the English drew with them. Even though they were dominant in terms of play. This is further proof that there are no easy games at this World Cup. We have to regenerate and prepare and go for the three points," he said after the game. 

"The problem was that the opponent was standing very low, with a lot of players in the back line, it was difficult to break through that block. One nice move from the right side in the second half changed everything. After the goal they had to open up, go forward, that gave us more space, our game came to the fore. We can expect that against Ghana. We will prepare ourselves, we have to find a new path and game plan, I hope we will be ready." 

Ghana could progress to the round of 32 with a draw against Croatia in Philadelphia.

The Tottenham Hotspur full-back became a major talking point after appearing to avoid shaking hands with Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey during the pre-match lineup ahead of the Group L encounter. The moment quickly circulated across social media, sparking widespread debate among supporters from both nations.

Many Ghanaian fans criticised Spence's actions, with some describing the gesture as unnecessary and disrespectful. Others accused the defender of seeking attention during an occasion that should have remained focused on football. However, Spence also received significant support from sections of the football community, with many fans praising him for what they viewed as a personal stand on a sensitive issue.

The controversy comes amid ongoing legal proceedings involving Partey. The Ghana midfielder is facing multiple sexual offence charges, which he denies. The matter remains before the courts.

As discussion intensified online, users noticed that comments on Spence's Instagram account had become restricted, limiting who could respond to his posts. The development led to fresh debate across social media platforms, where supporters continued to argue over the incident long after the final whistle.

Some fans also incorrectly suggested that Spence had deleted or deactivated his Instagram account. However, the England international's profile remains active. The confusion may stem from a previous incident during his Tottenham career when he temporarily cleared his social media profile amid frustrations over limited playing time under former Spurs manager Antonio Conte.

Neither Spence nor the Football Association had publicly commented on the controversy at the time of writing.

While England's meeting with Ghana produced plenty of talking points on the pitch, it is the brief moment before kick-off that continues to dominate discussion across social media, with opinions sharply divided over Spence's actions.

The Europeans started the tournament with a defeat to England before labouring to a 1-0 win over Panama, courtesy a second half strike from Ante Budimir.

"Thank God, we got three extremely important points for us. We wanted to win, but it wasn't easy. It was a tough game, you could see it from start to finish. We played with a lot of intensity because we knew the importance of the match, you could feel it," said the former Real Madrid man after the match.

"As the game progressed, we had some good moments and I hope that this win will help us gain confidence and belief that we are good and that we will be even better in the next games," he added. 

Croatia will return to the United States to face Ghana in Philadelphia on Saturday, June 23.

Apart from celebrating the victory over Panama, Modric also reached a new milestone, making his 200th appearance for the 2018 World Cup runners-up.

"It's truly incredible to reach 200 appearances in my favorite jersey. It makes me very proud, I couldn't have even dreamed of it. Let's move on and thank the fans for their support, everyone for their congratulations and everyone who makes life easier for us players in the national team," he said.

The Chronicle has been informed that the lead shipper, who has been caught, is a Ghanaian woman, but authorities at NACOC would not divulge any further information on the suspect at this stage of the investigations.

The Director-General of NACOC, Brigadier General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, was not specific on where in Ghana the suspect was arrested when The Chronicle posed the question to him on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at the Bundase Military Training Camp.

“We did that over three nights. My officers slept out of their homes for three nights and successfully picked the person who led that enterprise,” the DG told journalists.

He informed journalists during the briefing that authorities were tracking other suspects for arrest.The Chronicle understands at least ten people are on the radar of NACOC in connection with the matter.

NACOC STATEMENT

Late afternoon yesterday, NACOC released a statement announcing its “first arrest in the ongoing investigation into a 320 kg methamphetamine shipment.”

The Acting Director, Public Affairs & International Relations, PNCO Francis Opoku Amoah, who signed the statement, said the arrest provides vital intelligence as “we work to identify and apprehend additional members of this global criminal network.”

The drugs, which carry a street value of $296 million, were traced to a storage facility in Girraween, Australia, in April 2026, the statement recalled.

WHAT WE KNOW

A Citinewsroom report indicated that Australian Federal Police (AFP) launched an investigation in April 2026 after Australian Border Force (ABF) officers detected anomalies in two shipping containers that arrived at Sydney’s Port Botany from Ghana.

The shipment, declared as bags of charcoal, was subjected to x-ray screening, during which officers discovered a white crystallised substance. Preliminary tests returned a positive result for methamphetamine, the news item added.

At the time of filing this report in the evening of yesterday, no new information relating to further arrests has emerged.

WORLD DRUG DAY

In a related development, the NACOC on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, set ablaze dozens of illicit drugs at the Bundase Military Training Camp, Greater Accra.The destruction formed part of activities marking this year’s World Drug Day, scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2026, globally.

According to the DG, the substances destroyed were lawfully seized by NACOC and its partner security agencies and went through the requisite legal processes to obtain permission to destroy them.

“This exercise represents the final stage of our enforcement efforts and ensures that these dangerous substances never find their way back into our communities. It is our determination that after the World Drug Day on Friday, we [NACOC] are going to go out and hunt for those whose activity or whose business is just to sell drugs to destroy our young ones,” he announced.

DESTROYED 

Following an on-site test by officials of the Ghana Standards Authority in the presence of the press, 9.6 tonnes of cannabis, 46.89 kilogrammes of cocaine, 2,734 bottles of cannabis-laced drinks, 130 boxes of hemp-related products and others were destroyed.The court order permitting NACOC to carry out the destruction was shared with the journalists present.

The DG remarked that collectively, those substances represented thousands of doses that could have fuelled addiction, destroyed families and endangered young people as well as strengthened criminal networks.

He noted that the destruction “sends a very strong message, and I mean a very strong message and an unmistakable one that Ghana remains resolute in denying drug traffickers and criminal networks their profits from illicit drug activities.”

The international day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking would be celebrated on Friday, June 26, 2026.

The global campaign this year is on the theme “The World Drug Problem: Persisting Issues, New Challenges, and Innovative Responses.”
