Sports Correspondent: Imran Sohail

England will conclude their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group L campaign against Panama on Saturday, with the Three Lions looking to finish at the top of the group before the knockout stage begins.

Having recorded one win and one draw in their opening two matches, England have already booked their place in the Round of 32. A victory over Panama would guarantee first place in Group L and provide valuable momentum heading into the knockout rounds.

Panama, meanwhile, have been eliminated after suffering defeats in their first two group-stage matches. Despite being out of contention for qualification, they will be aiming to end their World Cup campaign on a positive note.

The final Group L fixture offers England an opportunity to maintain their unbeaten record, while Panama will look to produce a strong performance against one of the tournament favourites before returning home.

With the knockout stage approaching, England will be focused on building confidence and securing maximum points as they continue their quest for World Cup success.
