Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has called for both of the club’s goalkeepers, Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi, to be included in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Asare, Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper since his debut in March 2025, maintained his spot throughout the World Cup qualifying campaign. However, the former Great Olympics shot-stopper struggled for consistent playing time after sustaining an injury during an international friendly against South Korea in November last year. He returned to action in Hearts’ hard-fought 1-0 win over Hohoe United.
In Asare’s absence, Agbetsi stepped up impressively. 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 team’s preferred option between the posts.
“Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi must be in the Black Stars squad for the World Cup. Both of them have been at the Black Galaxies, and with how they are performing, both of them must be in the squad,” Didi Dramani told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
“Hearts of Oak have been in a similar position before. Both of them are performing, and they must be there,” he added.
Didi Dramani also confirmed that Benjamin Asare remains the club captain. The coach is expected to start Asare in Hearts’ upcoming Matchday 19 clash against Dreams FC at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, is scheduled to announce the final World Cup squad on June 1.
