Colombia vs Ghana Tickets | World Cup Round of 32
Colombia take on Ghana in the Round of 32 at Kansas City Stadium on July 3, with kickoff at 9:30 pm ET (8:30 pm CT). As Group K winners, Néstor Lorenzo's unbeaten Colombia side start as clear favorites, but there is a familiar subplot: Ghana are coached by Carlos Queiroz, who had a spell in charge of Colombia, and now faces his former team in the knockouts.
It is the first competitive meeting between the two nations. Colombia arrive on the back of an impressive group campaign, while Ghana's Black Stars scraped through as one of the best third-placed teams. Kansas City Stadium, better known as Arrowhead Stadium, is one of the loudest venues in world sport, and should provide a thunderous backdrop for a Round of 32 occasion.

Colombia vs Ghana Preview & Predictions
Colombia topped Group K with seven points and an unbeaten record, beating Uzbekistan 3–1 and DR Congo 1–0 before a goalless draw with Portugal in which they had the better chances. Lorenzo's side combine a solid, disciplined defense — they conceded just once — with real attacking quality, and arrive as one of the form teams of the tournament.
Ghana came through a dramatic Group L as one of the best third-placed teams. The Black Stars beat Panama 1–0, drew 0–0 with England and lost 2–1 to Croatia, finishing third on goal difference. Carlos Queiroz's side are well-organized and carry genuine threat in attack, and will relish the chance to upset the odds against the South Americans.
Colombia are clear favorites, with the greater quality, momentum and defensive solidity, and will fancy their chances of a place in the last 16. But Ghana have the individual talent and Queiroz's tactical know-how — including his inside knowledge of Colombian football — to make life difficult, and the Black Stars will believe they can spring a surprise on a big night in Kansas City.
Key Players to Watch
Colombia are inspired by the evergreen James Rodríguez, the captain and playmaker who produced a vintage display against Portugal and pulls the strings in attack. Bayern Munich's Luis Díaz provides pace and goals out wide, the energetic Daniel Muñoz scored twice in the group, and Dávinson Sánchez and Jefferson Lerma give the side defensive steel and balance.
Ghana look to their attacking talent, led by the dynamic Mohammed Kudus, one of the most exciting forwards in Europe. Thomas Partey brings quality and control in midfield, captain Jordan Ayew offers experience and a goal threat, and Iñaki Williams and Antoine Semenyo provide pace and directness to trouble the Colombian defense.
Kansas City Stadium – Match Venue
Kansas City Stadium, officially Arrowhead Stadium, will host this Round of 32 tie on 3 July. Home to the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs since 1972, it holds around 70,000 and is one of the most iconic stadiums in American sport, famous as one of the loudest venues in the world — Chiefs fans hold the Guinness record for the loudest crowd roar. It is staging six matches at this tournament, including a quarter-final.
Set in the Truman Sports Complex just east of downtown Kansas City, Arrowhead is renowned for its electric, wall-of-sound atmosphere. With a passionate crowd expected on a knockout night, and the venue built to trap and amplify noise, it should provide a spectacular setting for this all-or-nothing clash.
How to Get to Kansas City Stadium for This Match
Kansas City Stadium sits in the Truman Sports Complex, a short drive east of downtown Kansas City off Interstate 70. The city is fairly car-dependent, so driving or ride-share is the most common way to reach the ground, with extensive parking around the complex, and special event shuttle services often run from downtown on matchdays. Kansas City International Airport is around 19 miles to the north.
Given the limited public transport directly to the stadium, it's worth planning your journey in advance and considering a shuttle or ride-share to avoid parking congestion on event days. As ever, allow extra time for traffic and matchday security checks, and plan your return before kickoff.
Kansas City Fan Guide for Match Day
Kansas City offers plenty to enjoy on match day, from its world-famous barbecue and the lively Power & Light District to the jazz heritage of the 18th & Vine district and the fountains and museums of the Country Club Plaza. It's a warm, welcoming city with a big sporting culture, perfect for soaking up the atmosphere before kickoff.
Expect a passionate, colorful atmosphere, with Colombia's vibrant, yellow-clad support — among the loudest at the tournament — joined by Ghana's spirited following. With the city embracing the World Cup and so much to see and do, it's well worth arriving early and making a day of the occasion.
Road to the Round of 32: Colombia & Ghana

It is an intriguing knockout tie and a first competitive meeting between the nations. Colombia will start as strong favorites on the strength of their form and quality, but Ghana have the talent, organization and a coach who knows Colombian football well — and they will travel to Kansas City intent on causing an upset.
