World Cup Meetings
Croatia and Ghana have never met at the FIFA World Cup before 2026. Their Group L match on 27 Jun 2026 will be the first tournament meeting.
Group L points matter immediately because the tournament format leaves little room for a poor opening result. The H2H record offers background, while the World Cup setting raises the stakes.
Current Form Comparison
Croatia sit 11th in the 11 June 2026 FIFA men’s ranking. Ghana sit 73rd. These are the latest official positions available while drafting.
The form tab keeps the latest five-result lines separate from the official H2H total. That separation prevents warm-up matches against other opponents from changing the historical record.

|---|---|---|---|
| Croatia | W-L-W-L-L | 11 | Beat Panama 1-0 after opening defeat to England |
