Solomon Agbetsi and Benjamin Asare are all players of Accra Hearts of Oak
Communications Director of Accra Hearts of Oak, Kwame Opare Addo, has expressed the club’s desire to see both Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi included in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Asare established himself as the Black Stars’ first-choice goalkeeper after making his debut in March 2025 and went on to feature in all of Ghana’s World Cup qualifying matches.
However, the former Great Olympics shot-stopper has found minutes hard to come by since returning from an injury sustained during an international friendly against South Korea in November last year.
In Asare’s absence, Solomon Agbetsi has impressed between the posts for the Phobians. The former Dreams FC goalkeeper made his Hearts of Oak debut against Swedru All Blacks on November 15 and has retained his place since, delivering a series of assured performances.
Despite Asare’s limited game time, Opare Addo believes both goalkeepers have done enough to merit selection for the World Cup.
“We want both Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi for the World Cup; Asare has already cemented his place, and Agbetsi has proven his case,” he told Asempa FM.
Asare will be hoping to reclaim his spot in goal when Hearts of Oak travel to face Hohoe United in their Matchday 18 fixture at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday.
