Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare keeps Black Stars hopes alive

By: Bernard Nyankomago Kwasi

Black Stars safest pair of hands Benjamin Asare is in no mood to lose his position in the senior national team, the Black Stars as Ghana gears up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The experienced goalie says he will prove his worth in the goalpost whenever he is called to duty at his club side, Hearts of Oak to justify the great confidence that Ghanaian have in him.

“My recent absence from Hearts of Oak goalpost did not discourage me at all. I am mentally tough and have control over situations that can easily demoralise others”

“I know Ghanaians have big trust in me and I cannot disappoint them. I am training hard to keep good form because that is the only way I can reach my target with Hearts and the Black Stars” he told Footydreamsgh.com.

Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has been outstanding in the 2025/26 football season. His hard work earned him an invitation into the Black Stars team by Coach Otto Addo last year.

He has so far justified the opportunity given to him by the former Burrusia Dortmond trainer.

Benjamin Asare is yet to lose a competitive match with the Black Stars. He kept cleen sheets in virtually all the matches he kept during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

However, much has not been seen from him since his his return from Asia where the Black Stars lost their two friendly matches to Japan and South Korea.

Former Dreams FC goalie Solomon Agbasi who led Dreams to the semifinals of the Confederation Cup a couple of years ago has taken over the Hearts goalpost with amazing saves.

This situation has left Benjamin Asare on the bench for many weeks. Asare returned to the post only last Sunday to help Hearts of Oak beat Hohoe United 1-0 at Hohoe in match day 18 of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League.

Hearts Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani says in-form goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi was given a physical and mental break for the Hohoe game and expected to return for the subsequent matches.
