Matchday 1 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 came to an end on 19th June, and just the next day, with no rest day in between, matchday 2 started.
Of course, the clubs that were to play on 20th June already had more than enough time to rest and prepare for their next games.
Matchday 2 of the FIFA World Cup was opened by 2 Group A countries, Ghana and Japan this time.
The African and Asian countries clashed in the biggest stage of football.
(GROUP A:)
(Ghana vs Japan)
(Venue: BC Place, Canada)
(Date: June 20th, 2026)

In their matchday 1 encounters, Ghana got the maximum 3 points against Mexico while Japan could only settle for a draw against Poland.
