Kwasi Sibo Receives Late Black Stars Call-Up for Crucial World Cup Qualifier Against Mali
Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has earned a late call-up to the Ghana national team ahead of their pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mali, scheduled for Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Sibo joins the squad as head coach Otto Addo seeks to bolster his midfield options following the Black Stars’ disappointing 1-1 draw with Chad in N’Djamena last Thursday. The 27-year-old has been in outstanding form for Oviedo, playing a crucial role in their promotion to La Liga last season.
Known for his relentless energy, tactical discipline, and ability to disrupt opposition play, Sibo was instrumental in helping the Spanish side secure top-flight football for the first time in several years. In the ongoing 2025/26 La Liga campaign, he has featured in all three of Oviedo’s matches, showcasing composed and consistent performances against tough opponents.
Sibo’s rise in European football has not gone unnoticed, and his versatility offers a timely boost to Ghana’s midfield as they aim for World Cup qualification. This call-up presents an opportunity for Sibo to re-establish himself in the national team setup.
