Asare shows humble side, cleans beach front
Dressed in casual attire, the 32-year-old was seen raking garbage along the shoreline, setting aside his status as Ghana’s top goalkeeper to tackle one of the most ordinary civic duties.
Despite having several young men around, Asare didn’t delegate the task.
Instead, he 'rolled up his sleeves' and personally got involved, clearing the trash that had accumulated after the recent rains.
The scene struck a chord with fans who admired his grounded nature and sense of responsibility.
According to those familiar with the area, Valley Beach serves as Asare’s preferred training ground, making his involvement all the more meaningful.
Rather than ignore the deteriorating state of the beachfront, the former Great Olympics man chose action over apathy.
Fans praise Asare for his humility
Online reactions poured in, applauding his humility and proactive mindset:
@FAgbodeka saluted the efforts of the Black Stars No.1:
“That’s commendable! Love to see public figures leading by example. Big respect to him!”
@blaqlegend_gh praised Asare:
“He is very humble. We live in the same community.”
@r_Narh stated:
“That's his training spot he's been using for years. So much garbage comes ashore when it rains, so he's clearing the place.”
@RichEstimate summed up:
“Good.”
Benajmin Asare's commanding presence in goal
Back on the pitch, Asare's impact has been just as noteworthy.
His recent return to Hearts of Oak’s starting lineup was marked by a crucial performance that helped the Phobians edge Medeama SC 1-0, per Africa TopSports.
His clean sheet proved vital in securing all three points as the season edges closer to its climax.
Asare’s consistency has become a talking point among local football analysts.
Ghana Premier League expert Mohammed Shaban noted that the experienced shot-stopper has registered eight clean sheets in his last nine outings across both club and international fixtures.
With the national team, he played a key role in Ghana’s emphatic victories over Chad and Madagascar during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Those displays have not only solidified his position in the team but have also endeared him to a wider base of Ghanaians.
