Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has paid a courtesy call on the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the king of the Ga Traditional Area.
The visit was an expression of appreciation for the king’s support following Asare’s recent call-up to the Black Stars.
In a Facebook post by Accra-based radio station Hot FM, Asare also sought the king’s blessings for the remainder of the football season.
Asare is currently the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Black Stars, following an impressive debut with the national team in March 2024.
He kept two clean sheets in two matches against Chad and Madagascar during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, earning the trust of head coach Otto Addo, who has since named him the team’s first-choice goalkeeper.
After missing Hearts of Oak’s last two games, Asare has been named in the squad and is set to make his return in the upcoming match against Medeama on Sunday, April 6, 2025.
