The Black Stars of Ghana took on the English national football team in the second group L game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Boston, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
A big talking point before the game surrounded whether English players would shake the hands of the Black Stars deputy captain, Thomas Partey.
Partey, who formerly played for Arsenal in the English Premier League, has become a flashpoint for controversy due to facing multiple charges of sexual assault during his time at the North London side.
Before the game, all players on the English team shook hands with Thomas Partey except one: Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence, who snubbed Partey’s handshake in protest over his charges.
