Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has praised the strong sense of togetherness within the Black Stars camp, describing it as a key ingredient in Ghana’s bounce-back qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

After a disappointing AFCON 2025 campaign, where Ghana failed to progress from the group stage, head coach Otto Addo guided the team to top Group I with 25 points, securing a spot at the global showpiece in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

“One thing I’ve seen in this team is unity… when a team is united and ready to fight for each other, it’s hard to beat,” Sibo told Graphic Sports.

Since earning his first national call-up in September, the 27-year-old former, UD Ibiza, Watford  and Cheetah FC midfielder has started all three final qualifiers, impressing with his composure and tactical discipline.

“We are very united, and I feel we are on the right track,” he added, reflecting on the squad’s chemistry and Addo’s leadership.
