The World Cup 2026 draw has been announced, with England facing two familiar foes from the 2018 World Cup in their Group L. They will play Croatia, whom they faced in the semi-finals, and Panama, another opponent from the previous tournament. England's third opponent in the group is Ghana. France, the defending champions, have been drawn in Group I alongside Senegal and Norway. Interestingly, former US president Donald Trump has been awarded the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. The matches in Group L will be played across four cities in the United States and one in Canada, with the specific venues and kick-off times to be announced later on Saturday.
