Kwasi Sibo aims to work hard for club and country after impressive Black Stars debut

Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo is determined to maintain his focus and work ethic following a standout performance in his Black Stars debut.

The 25-year-old impressed alongside Thomas Partey in midfield during Ghana’s 1-0 victory over Mali in the Matchday 8 fixtures of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium earlier this month.

Alexander Dijiku scored the decisive goal in a hard-fought win for the senior national team.

Sibo earned his opportunity after Elisha Owusu was suspended for Ghana’s previous match against Chad in N’Djamena.

“Getting a starting role in such a crucial match means the coach has confidence in me, but I have to work even harder to fight for a place in the team,” he told Graphic Sports.

“If I don’t get regular playing time at Oviedo, I’ll not catch the eye of the coach. So my focus is to keep working hard, for my club and for Ghana," he added.

With two qualifiers remaining, the Black Stars are on course to secure a fifth World Cup appearance, sitting atop their group with 19 points. Ghana will face the Central African Republic and Comoros in the final round of qualifying matches scheduled for October.
