2026 World Cup: Ghana vs Colombia; who renews World Cup Quarter-final dream?
Ghana and Colombia will meet in a high-stakes 2026 World Cup Round of 32 match in Kansas City, with both teams aiming to move a step closer to the title.
The two nations share a notable piece of World Cup history. Ghana reached the quarter-finals for the first time at the 2010 tournament in South Africa, becoming only the third African side to reach that stage. Colombia matched that achievement four years later, reaching the last eight at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Now, both teams face another opportunity to extend their World Cup campaigns when they play at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 01:30 GMT.
Colombia arrive as winners of Group K after a controlled group-stage campaign. They began with a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, followed by a 1-0 win against DR Congo, before drawing 0-0 with Portugal to secure top spot.

Their defensive discipline has been one of the key features of their tournament so far. Colombia conceded only one goal in three matches and kept two clean sheets.
Ghana also enter the knockout stage with a strong defensive record. The Black Stars beat Panama 1-0, drew with England and lost narrowly to Croatia, finishing third in Group L.
Like Colombia, Ghana kept two clean sheets during the group stage and conceded only two goals.
The match is expected to be closely contested, with both sides showing they are difficult to break down. Colombia will take confidence from topping their group, while Ghana will hope their resilience and experience of tense World Cup matches can carry them into the last 16.
For Ghana, the game offers a chance to revive memories of their historic run in South Africa 16 years ago. For Colombia, it is an opportunity to build on the progress they made in Brazil in 2014.
With a place in the Round of 16 at stake, one decisive moment may be enough to separate two teams with similar World Cup ambitions.
