Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston has cautioned the Black Stars not to underrate Panama.
The West African country will face Panama in their group phase games of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled to be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
Despite making their second appearance at the Mundial, Kingston believes Ghana's performance cannot be underestimated by Panama.
"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 told SuperSport Blitz.
Kingston also predicted that the second group game against England would be an exciting fixture to watch.
"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," he added.
The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, face England on June 23 in Boston, and wrap up the group stage against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
Following early exits in both the 2014 and 2022 World Cups, Ghana will be aiming for a more successful run in the expanded 2026 tournament.
