Mas-Ud Didi Dramani: Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi deserve a place in Black Stars squad for 2026 World Cup

Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has called for both Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi to be included in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Asare has been Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper since his debut in March 2025, playing a key role throughout the World Cup qualifiers.
However, the former Great Olympics shot-stopper has struggled for regular club minutes 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 his absence, Agbetsi has impressed between the posts for the Phobians. The former Dreams FC goalkeeper made his Hearts of Oak debut against Swedru All Blacks on November 15 and has since cemented his place as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
"Benjamin Asare and Solomon Agbetsi must be in 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," he told Asempa FM.
"Hearts of Oak have been in a similar position before. Both of them are performing, and they must be there," Didi Dramani added.
Didi Dramani is expected to start Asare in Hearts’ upcoming Matchday 19 fixture against Dreams FC at the University of Ghana Stadium. Black Stars coach Otto Addo is set to announce his final squad on June 1.
