2026 WCQ: Kwasi Sibo Arrives in Spain in Luxury SUV After Impressive Ghana Performance

  • Kwasi Sibo made a stylish return to Spain in his luxury car following the recent international break with the Black Stars
  • The 27-year-old, who impressed in Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Mali, also showcased his fluency in Spanish
  • He is now set to line up for Real Oviedo when they face Getafe on September 13 at the Estadio Coliseum

Kwasi Sibo’s journey in the September international window was nothing short of remarkable.

Initially left out of Otto Addo’s 24-man squad, the Spain-based midfielder received a late call after Ibrahim Sulemana’s injury and Elisha Owusu’s suspension opened the door.

Kwasi Sibo stars on Black Stars debut

Rather than dwelling on the setback of being overlooked, the 27-year-old seized his chance in Ghana’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mali.

Stationed in midfield alongside Thomas Partey, he impressed with calm passing, disciplined positioning, and strong defensive cover that allowed his partner to roam more freely.

The partnership gave the Black Stars balance in the middle of the park, and despite a few nervy moments, Sibo’s debut ended on a winning note.

Alexander Djiku’s scrappy finish handed Ghana a slender 1-0 victory, a result that kept Otto Addo’s men top of Group I with 19 points from eight matches.

With two fixtures left, one more triumph would all but secure their place at the global showpiece.
