Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has received a late call-up to the Ghana squad ahead of their crunch 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mali on Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Sibo’s inclusion comes as Otto Addo looks to bolster his midfield options following the Black Stars’ 1-1 draw against Chad in N’Djamena on Thursday afternoon September 4, 2025.
The 27-year-old has been in impressive form for Oviedo, where he played a crucial role in their successful promotion campaign to La Liga last season.
His consistency, energy, and ability to break up play were key in helping the Spanish club secure top-flight football for the first time in years.
This season, Sibo has featured in all three of Oviedo’s 2025/26 La Liga matches, putting in assured performances against some of Spain’s toughest opposition.
His growing reputation in Europe has not gone unnoticed, and his versatility in midfield makes him a valuable addition to Addo’s squad.
This call-up represents an opportunity for Sibo to re-establish himself in the national team setup.
With Ghana chasing qualification for the 2026 World Cup, his ball-winning ability and tactical discipline could prove vital in the crucial showdown with Mali.
The Black Stars will be eager to bounce back from their setback against Chad, and Sibo’s arrival adds fresh competition and depth in the middle of the park.
