“Benjamin Asare Has Earned His Place — GFA Spokesperson Henry Asante Twum on Black Stars’ Goalkeeper”

In a recent statement, Ghana Football Association (GFA) communications director Henry Asante Twum affirmed that Benjamin Asare has “worked for his space and deserves credit” for earning the Black Stars’ goalkeeper role ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Twum emphasized that Asare’s performances — consistency, dedication, and strong displays at club level — have validated his elevation to Ghana’s number-one spot between the posts. He noted that while many aspire, few deliver the level of excellence required to represent the nation.

Asare, currently serving as goalkeeper for Accra Hearts of Oak, has responded to the call with composure. His inclusion in the national squad underscores the GFA’s commitment to rewarding merit and performance. 

The Black Stars’ campaign for the 2026 World Cup begins with crucial qualifiers, and Asare’s role will be under close scrutiny. Twum’s remarks aim to reassure fans and critics that the appointment is grounded in merit, not politics. 

Supporters and pundits will be watching closely as Asare steps into the spotlight, carrying both the aspirations of Ghanaian football and the weight of expectations.
