Colombia faces off against Ghana.

The Colombian team will face Ghana for the first time in the round of 32 at Kansas City Stadium.

The July 4th matchday will conclude in Kansas City, where Colombia will face Ghana at 8:30 AM (Vietnam time). The South American team has had an incredibly impressive start, topping Group K ahead of Portugal and earning 7 points. Colombia will face a tough challenge against Ghana, an African team known for its disciplined defense and dangerous counter-attacks thanks to the speed and strength of star player Antoine Semenyo.

Colombia finished top of Group K at the 2026 World Cup , after defeating Uzbekistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo and drawing with Portugal – and their goal now is to reach the round of 16.

Ghana arrived in Kansas City after finishing third in Group L with a win against Panama, a draw with England, and a loss to Croatia. They are aiming for their third appearance in the Round of 16. Their two previous appearances against South American opponents in the World Cup knockout stages ended in defeat: losing to Brazil in the Round of 16 in 2006 and Uruguay in the quarter-finals in 2010.

The only time Colombia faced an African opponent in the World Cup knockout rounds was a 2-1 defeat to Cameroon in 1990.
