Communications Director of 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 has been the Black Stars’ first-choice goalkeeper since his debut in March 2025, retaining his place throughout the World Cup qualifying campaign.
However, the former Great Olympics shot-stopper has struggled for regular club action since returning from an injury sustained during an international friendly against South Korea in November last year.
In Asare’s absence, Agbetsi has delivered a string of impressive performances for the Phobians.
The former Dreams FC goalkeeper made his Hearts of Oak debut against Swedru All Blacks on November 15 and has since established himself as the club’s preferred option between the posts.
Despite Asare’s limited game time, Opare Addo believes both goalkeepers have done enough to merit selection for the global showpiece.
“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’s Ultimate Sports Show.
Meanwhile, Asare will be hoping for a return to action when Hearts of Oak travel to face Hohoe United in their Matchday 18 fixture at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday.
