Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare is set to organise a thanksgiving party on August 30, 2026, following his heroics at the 2026 World Cup.

The Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper made his World Cup debut, coming on as a substitute against Panama, after starting goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi was forced off injured.

He helped preserve Ghana's 1-0 win in their opening match. He then went on to start against England, keeping a clean sheet in a historic 0-0 draw.

That performance made him the first locally based goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet on the World Cup stage, and the first Black Stars goalkeeper to record back-to-back clean sheets at the tournament.
