Black Stars and Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare got a taste of life behind the wheel on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, as he finally had a feel of his brand-new Hyundai Elantra, gifted to him by business mogul, Alhaji Seidu Agongo.
Though he wasn’t cruising on the highway just yet, a short clip shows the goalkeeper easing into the driver’s seat, soaking in the moment and checking out the car’s interior as the media took pictures and videos.
The surprise gift follows a viral video from last month, which showed Asare quietly commuting in a public minibus, popularly called a “trotro”, just days after making his Black Stars debut in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
His back-to-back clean sheets against Madagascar and Chad helped Ghana to two crucial wins and also won him praise for his humble character and remarkable rise from the local league to becoming the national team’s number one.
Now, Asare has more than just praise to show for it, and judging by his quiet smile in the video, it’s a moment he’ll remember for a long time.
