Kwasi Sibo hails Black Stars unity ahead of World Cup preparations
4th November 2025
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.
