Buy Panama vs Croatia tickets for Tuesday 23 June 2026 at Toronto Stadium (BMO Field), where Group L brings Panama's second World Cup campaign into one of the tournament's most compact and energetic venues. Match 46 kicks off at 19:00 Eastern Time in Toronto, six days after both teams open their group schedules. The fixture pairs Thomas Christiansen's Panama with Zlatko Dalic's Croatia in a city where Croatian support is expected to travel strongly across the Greater Toronto Area.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
The live 1BoxOffice listing currently shows a £1,140 entry floor, making this a premium Toronto fixture shaped by the smaller 45,736-capacity tournament layout and Croatia's strong local support base. The wider World Cup 2026 market gives this match a clear buyer profile: compact stadium, evening kick-off, matchday-two pressure and a Croatia side still led by Luka Modric.
1BoxOffice is a verified marketplace established in 2006, with every order covered by a 150% money-back guarantee and customer support in English and Arabic. Buyers can compare Panama vs Croatia tickets by category, section, row, quantity and seller notes before checkout. The guide below keeps the purchase decision front and centre, covering price context, Toronto Stadium seating, mobile-ticket delivery, matchday access and the full Group L schedule.

Croatia drive much of the demand for this fixture. Toronto has a sizeable Croatian-Canadian football community, and a compact 45,736-seat tournament layout leaves less spare inventory than larger Group L venues in Arlington, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Luka Modric remains the headline story for Croatia, with what is likely to be his final World Cup adding emotion to a squad still built around Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, Andrej Kramaric, Ivan Perisic, Luka Sucic and Martin Baturina. Demand for Croatia World Cup 2026 tickets in Toronto is therefore shaped by both travelling support and local diaspora interest, rather than by match ranking alone.
For Panama, the demand is more diffuse, but the match still matters. Thomas Christiansen has built a squad anchored on captain Anibal Godoy, midfielders Adalberto Carrasquilla and Jose Fajardo, plus forward options including Jose Luis Rodriguez and Ismael Diaz. The Panamanian-Canadian community in Toronto is smaller than the Croatian base, while international supporters route through Panama City, San Salvador and Toronto Pearson. Tickets for Panama World Cup 2026 tickets at BMO Field also appeal to buyers following both Panama's Toronto dates before the group closer against England in New Jersey.
Venue capacity sharpens the pricing curve further. BMO Field is being expanded for the tournament, but it remains the smallest United States or Canadian host venue by tournament capacity. Temporary north and south end seating increases supply, yet the stadium still cannot match the inventory depth of MetLife Stadium, AT&T Stadium or Gillette Stadium. Matchday-two context also matters because Panama and Croatia will already know their opening results, making this fixture a potential group-table pivot rather than a neutral midweek stop.
Primary-sale routes for the 2026 tournament have run through three main channels: the random selection draw windows operated by the tournament organisers, supporter packages tied to each national federation and host-city allocations made through the World Cup 26 app. For the matchday-two slot at BMO Field with its Croatian-diaspora demand layer, the random selection windows have closed multiple times oversubscribed, and the federation supporter packages are reserved for members in good standing with the Panamanian Football Federation or the Croatian Football Federation. Buyers without that history are typically shut out of primary-sale tranches well before matchday.
The marketplace route is the practical alternative. 1BoxOffice aggregates confirmed resale inventory from federation members, hospitality partners and primary-sale allocation holders who can no longer attend, and lists every seat with row and section data where available. There is no federation membership requirement, no Panamanian or Croatian ID check, and orders are complete in any major currency with the 150% money-back guarantee attached. For most international buyers and the wider Toronto domestic audience, the secondary marketplace is the only realistic entry point once primary-sale windows have closed.
Resale pricing for this fixture is driven by five factors: category and view quality, proximity to likely supporter clusters, seat-together availability across pairs or four-seat blocks, hospitality inventory tightness in BMO Field's smaller premium-product pool and the release-window timing relative to matchday. The £1,140 Cat 4 floor visible on the live 1BoxOffice page is the current entry point, but all prices remain seller-set and can move as supply changes.
| Category | Typical location | Resale range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 4 | Upper tier corners and temporary end grandstand seating | From £1,140 to £1,650 | Lowest-priced entry, vocal supporter areas |
| Cat 3 | Upper tier longside, sideline rows above the camera side | £1,650 to £2,350 | Elevated full-pitch view at moderate cost |
| Cat 2 | Lower tier corners, sideline blocks wide of the halfway line | £2,350 to £3,400 | Close-action sightlines, good camera-side angles |
| Cat 1 | Lower tier longside central, between the 18-yard boxes | £3,400 to £5,200 | Premium sightline at the pitch, halfway-line view of the bench |
| Hospitality | Club seats, premium lounges and corporate suites with food and beverage | Request pricing | Premium experience with reserved entry, where shown in listing notes |
Pricing is aggregated from secondary-market data at the time of writing and is updated as live inventory changes. Buyers should refresh the live listings before checkout, especially if Croatia's opening result against England changes the group-table picture or if Panama's first match against Ghana keeps La Roja in a strong third-place position.
Toronto Stadium is the tournament-facing name for BMO Field, the only football-specific stadium hosting the 2026 tournament across the United States and Canada. The bowl is a compact two-tier configuration designed primarily for football sightlines, with the lower tier close to the touchline and a relatively shallow upper tier above. For the tournament, temporary grandstand seating expands capacity to 45,736, including added end seating around the existing bowl. The 19:00 Eastern Time kick-off places the game in Toronto evening conditions, with partial canopy coverage rather than a fully enclosed roof.
For a full overview of every section, sightline and access route at the venue, see BMO Field tickets and the interactive BMO Field seating plan.
| Area | What it suits | Pricing bracket | General guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower tier longside central | Buyers prioritising sightline and camera-side angle | Cat 1 | Lower-bowl preferential sections closest to the halfway line on the camera side |
| Lower tier longside non-central | Buyers who want close-action but flexible budget | Cat 2 | Lower-bowl sideline blocks wide of the halfway line on both camera and far sides |
| Upper tier longside | Buyers seeking full-pitch tactical perspective | Cat 3 | Upper-tier longside camera-side sections with formation and shape clarity |
| Behind the goals | Vocal supporters and ultras-style atmosphere | Cat 4 | Temporary north and south end grandstands plus the upper-tier corner blocks |
| Hospitality lounges | Buyers wanting reserved entry, food and beverage | Hospitality | Club seats, premium lounges and corporate suites with private entry |
| Supporter type | Best approach |
|---|---|
| Panama supporters | Supporter allocations are confirmed fixture by fixture, so Panama buyers should check the listing notes, section details and final ticket instructions before choosing seats. Travelling Panama fans are likely to cluster where the federation allocation and independent resale inventory overlap, while some neutral Toronto buyers may choose longside sections for a calmer view. |
| Croatia supporters | Croatia demand in Toronto is expected to be strong because of the local Croatian-Canadian community and the broader European travel pool. Buyers who want a Croatia-leaning atmosphere should look for seller notes that mention supporter proximity, block context or fan-side guidance, rather than relying on a fixed north or south-end assumption. |
| Neutral buyers | Lower-tier longside and upper-tier longside camera-side sections remain the safest pick for a neutral matchday experience. Wearing either team's colours in concentrated supporter areas can change the atmosphere around you, so neutral buyers should prioritise clear listing notes and full-pitch sightlines. |
| Hospitality option | Typical buyer | Main appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Pitchside or premium suite | Corporate buyers and ultra-premium individual purchasers | Premium location, host service and food and beverage, where included in the listing |
| Club lounge | Premium individual buyers and small corporate groups | Reserved seat with access to club spaces, served food and bar access where specified |
| Premium seat with hospitality | Higher-spend individuals upgrading from Cat 1 | Longside seat bundled with hospitality benefits where live inventory includes them |
| Group entertainment package | Corporate clients hosting clients or staff | Block bookings and hosted spaces where released by sellers |
Hospitality inventory at BMO Field is more limited than at larger United States venues because the stadium is compact and the temporary expansion is primarily about seating capacity. Buyers targeting hospitality should review each listing's inclusions carefully, including lounge access, food and beverage, entry route, delivery method and whether the package uses a mobile ticket, a separate credential or a host-assisted handover.
| Delivery item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mobile-ticket transfer | World Cup tickets are expected to be mobile-led. Load the ticket on your phone before travelling, keep the battery charged and follow the transfer steps shown in the seller's notes. |
| Listing-specific instructions | Check the stated delivery method, transfer window, section, row and quantity before checkout. Screenshots, photos and printed copies should not be treated as valid entry methods. |
| Hospitality delivery | Hospitality listings may include separate credentials or host-assisted delivery. Use only the delivery route shown in the listing and final order instructions. |
| Entry checks | Bring photo ID, your charged phone and the order confirmation. Allow enough time for mobile-ticket checks, bag screening and stadium entry. |
All buyers should bring photo ID, follow the final bag policy instructions and check the matchday guidance sent before the fixture. Final gate-opening times for World Cup matches at Toronto Stadium will be confirmed in matchday instructions, so domestic BMO Field timings should not be treated as fixed tournament rules.
1BoxOffice is a verified marketplace established in 2006, with every order backed by the 150% money-back guarantee and customer support in English and Arabic. The eight-step process below applies to Panama vs Croatia tickets and to every other World Cup 2026 fixture listed on the platform.
Step1
Choose your fixture
Open the Panama vs Croatia page and confirm the event card matches the date, venue and kick-off. The card lists the resale starting price in pounds sterling and shows availability across all categories.
Step2
Filter by category and budget
Set a price ceiling and pick the categories you want shown. Cat 4 to Cat 1 covers the seated range, with hospitality as a separate filter. Sort by lowest price or by seat-together count if you need adjacent seats.
Step3
Review seat detail
Click each listing to confirm the section, row and the supporter-section context. Listings carry the seller's full row and section data where available, plus delivery method and timeframe.
Step4
Add to basket
Add the chosen quantity to the basket. The basket reserves the seats for a short window while you complete checkout, which prevents another buyer from taking them mid-flow.
Step5
Sign in or register
Returning buyers sign in; new buyers create an account with email and a password. Account creation takes under a minute and stores your order history for future fixtures.
Step6
Enter buyer and delivery details
Add the lead-buyer name, contact email, mobile number and the billing address. For mobile transfer delivery, supply the email address tied to the World Cup 26 app or the primary-sale wallet.
Step7
Pay and confirm
Pay by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The full order total, including service fees, is shown before you confirm. A booking confirmation lands in your email inbox immediately on completion.
Step8
Track your order through to delivery
Use the track order portal to monitor delivery status. Mobile transfers usually arrive in the final two weeks before matchday; e-ticket PDFs and hospitality wristbands are confirmed inside the same window.
The Toronto buyer pool segments into clear groups. Domestic Canadian buyers fill a meaningful share of the venue, while Croatian-Canadian interest across the Greater Toronto Area gives Croatia one of the strongest local fan bases in Group L. International travel is led by Croatian supporters flying through European hubs into Toronto Pearson, plus Panama supporters routing from Panama City or through regional connections. Toronto Pearson is the closest major international airport, while Exhibition GO and the 509 and 511 streetcars shape the final stadium approach.
Canada entry rules depend on nationality, travel method and individual circumstances. Many visa-exempt travellers need an Electronic Travel Authorisation when flying to Canada, while United States citizens are exempt from eTA and travel with proper identification. Panamanian passport holders should check whether they need a visitor visa or meet a conditional eTA route before booking non-refundable travel. All buyers should confirm passport validity rules for their nationality, check airline documentation requirements and keep accommodation flexible until final matchday instructions are issued.
Panama arrives at their second World Cup eight years after their 2018 debut. Thomas Christiansen has been the head coach since 2020 and guided the squad through CONCACAF qualifying, moving through the second round and then the final round route to reach the expanded 2026 tournament. Captain Anibal Godoy leads from midfield as the federation's record appearance maker, with Adalberto Carrasquilla providing the central engine and Jose Luis Rodriguez, Ismael Diaz, Jose Fajardo and Edgar Barcenas giving La Roja pace and width in the final third.
Group L sits at the harder end of Panama's plausible group draws. The matchday-one fixture against Ghana at Toronto Stadium is the clearest early opportunity; the matchday-two Croatia game is a sharper technical test, with the matchday-three England game at New York New Jersey Stadium the contender-tier benchmark. Panama's practical route is to stay competitive for one of the best third-placed spots, with anything beyond that requiring a result against one of the group's two European powers.
Croatia arrive after a strong UEFA Group L qualifying campaign, finishing on 22 points from eight matches with seven wins, one draw and 26 goals scored against four conceded. Zlatko Dalic remains in charge eight years after taking the squad to the 2018 World Cup final. Luka Modric captains the side at 40, with 2026 likely to be his final World Cup, while Mateo Kovacic anchors the midfield, Luka Sucic offers the next-generation link, and Josko Gvardiol leads the defence in front of goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. Andrej Kramaric, Ivan Perisic and Martin Baturina round out the forward and creative unit.
Group L sits squarely inside Croatia's realistic ceiling. The matchday-one rematch against England in Arlington is the harder fixture; the matchday-two slot in Toronto gives Croatia a strong local-support opportunity; Ghana on matchday three at Philadelphia Stadium presents the closing test. Dalic's tournament ceiling in 2026 is a quarter-final, with a semi-final possible if the bracket opens up. The 2018 final and 2022 third-place run established Croatia's knockout pedigree and remain the pre-tournament reference points.
Panama and Croatia have no widely recorded senior meeting before this Group L fixture, so the Toronto Stadium match starts the head-to-head story between the two teams. It is a fresh matchup rather than a repeat of an existing tournament rivalry.

Panama plays Croatia on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, with a 19:00 Eastern Time kick-off at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario. It is Match 46 of Group L and the matchday-two fixture for both teams. The venue is referred to as Toronto Stadium during the tournament under the corporate-name policy applied across all host venues, with the standard BMO Field name returning after the tournament.
Primary-sale routes are limited to random selection draws and federation supporter packages, both of which require existing membership or successful draw entry. For most international buyers, the confirmed resale marketplace is the practical route. 1BoxOffice lists inventory from federation members, hospitality partners and primary-sale holders who can no longer attend, with row and section data shown on every listing.
Modric remains Croatia's captain and central tournament figure, but 2026 should be described cautiously as what is likely to be his final World Cup rather than a confirmed last major tournament. The matchday-two slot is the type of fixture where Dalic may start him if fitness and the England opener allow it. Final selection is confirmed in Croatia's pre-match media activity and team-sheet release.
Cat 4 lower-priced entry on the resale marketplace currently starts from approximately £1,140, with higher categories rising according to section, row, view and quantity. Hospitality is listing-led and should be checked through live inventory rather than treated as one fixed starting price. Prices are seller-set and can move quickly once Panama and Croatia's matchday-one results are known.
The fixture follows the standard tournament category framework of Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3 and Cat 4, plus separate hospitality products. Cat 1 covers the central lower-tier longside, Cat 2 the longside corners, Cat 3 the upper-tier longside and Cat 4 the temporary north and south end grandstands plus upper-tier corner blocks. Hospitality is sold as a separate inventory pool, including club seats, premium lounges and corporate suites.
Yes, hospitality may be available when sellers list premium inventory for this fixture. At BMO Field, the premium-product pool is smaller than at larger venues, so buyers should check listing notes for lounge access, food and beverage, private entry, credential delivery and whether the package uses mobile tickets or host-assisted delivery.
Toronto Stadium, normally BMO Field, has a stated tournament capacity of 45,736, including temporary seating added around the existing football-specific bowl. Final operational layouts can still affect the exact number of saleable seats for a particular fixture, so buyers should treat this as the current stadium capacity rather than a guarantee of final available inventory.
Canada entry rules depend on nationality, travel method and individual circumstances. Many visa-exempt travellers need an eTA when flying to Canada, while United States citizens are exempt from eTA. Panamanian passport holders should check whether they need a visitor visa or meet conditional eTA eligibility before booking non-refundable travel. Always confirm passport validity rules for your nationality.
World Cup tickets are expected to be mobile-led and delivered through the tournament ticketing process or the seller's authorised mobile-transfer route. Screenshots, photos and printed copies should not be treated as valid entry methods. Check the delivery method, transfer window, section, row and quantity in the listing notes, then accept the transfer as soon as it arrives.
Supporter allocations are confirmed fixture by fixture, so buyers should not assume a fixed north or south end. Croatia supporters are likely to create a strong atmosphere because of the local Croatian-Canadian community and European travel pool, but the safest approach is to use seller notes, section context and final ticket instructions when choosing seats.
There is no formal minimum age for attendance, but every attendee aged two and over requires their own ticket. Children under two can be admitted as a lap infant in most non-hospitality categories. Unaccompanied minors are not permitted in any category, and hospitality areas with bar service apply standard Ontario adult-supervision rules for under-19 attendees.
The 150% money-back guarantee applies to every order. If tickets are not delivered as promised, are not valid for entry or are materially different from the listing, 1BoxOffice refunds 150% of the purchase price. The guarantee is the strongest in the confirmed resale category and underwrites every Panama vs Croatia listing on the marketplace, with no separate enrolment required.
Mobile-transfer tickets may allow transfer to another attendee where the tournament ticketing process and seller instructions permit it. Buyers should follow the delivery rules in the order confirmation and avoid forwarding screenshots or photos. Hospitality credentials can have tighter transfer rules once issued, so check the listing notes before checkout if attendee names may change.
Bring photo ID matching the lead-buyer name on the booking. A passport, driving licence or national ID card is all accepted. Hospitality and will-call collection require the same photo ID at the desk, plus the original order confirmation. A Canadian entry separately requires the passport used at the immigration check plus the eTA or visa documentation, where applicable.
The pricing curve on the matchday-two slot at BMO Field has firmed up earlier than at most matchday-two fixtures because of the Croatian-Canadian demand layer in Toronto. The optimal book window for most buyers is six to four weeks out before primary-sale wallets release inventory. Hospitality late-release inventory inside the final ten days can carry a softer price than the early tranche.
Each fixture is a separate event on the marketplace, with its own listings, pricing curve and basket. Buyers building a multi-game itinerary across Panama or Croatia Group L matches should complete each booking individually. The track-order portal then groups orders under one buyer account, with a separate confirmation email per fixture.
Pricing is displayed in pounds sterling by default, and the site supports multi-currency display, including Canadian dollars, US dollars, euros, UAE dirhams and Saudi riyals. Payment is processed by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with the final charge converted at the prevailing rate by the card issuer. Buyers in MENA markets are supported by Arabic-language customer service.
If the fixture is rescheduled and played at a later date, tickets remain valid for the new fixture. If the fixture is cancelled outright and not rescheduled, the 1BoxOffice money-back protection refunds the purchase price. BMO Field is an open-air venue; the realistic in-day variable is a thunderstorm delay during Toronto's summer-storm window, which usually results in a short pause rather than a rescheduled fixture.
BMO Field is at Exhibition Place in downtown Toronto, west of the city core. Toronto Transit Commission's 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst streetcars stop directly outside, and GO Transit runs the Exhibition Station service from Union Station on event days. Driving access is via the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard, with paid parking around Exhibition Place. Toronto Pearson International is the closest airport, approximately 25 km west.
Customer service is available in English and Arabic for fixture-specific questions, including seat-together checks, delivery timing, mobile-ticket transfer steps and last-minute order status. Use your order details when contacting support so the team can review the exact listing, seller notes, and delivery timeline tied to your Panama vs Croatia booking.
