2026 WCQ: Real Oviedo Midfielder Kwasi Sibo Handed Late Call-up
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has handed a late call-up to Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo after three players became unavailable for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mali.
His impressive form came into the limelight following his appearance in three matches since the start of the season, which caught the attention of the coach.
In a statement, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) said Otto Addo thought him relevant as he grapples with midfield concerns.
“Sibo will join the team in Accra to prepare for the match at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, September 8, 2025. This addition aims to strengthen the Black Stars’ midfield as they take on Mali.”
The unavailable players are Thomas Teye Partey, who is said to have fallen ill before the Chad match; Ibrahim Sulemana, who picked up a knee knock in the final training session in N’Djamena; and Elisha Owusu, who stands ineligible for the Mali game due to accumulated yellow cards.
