Frederick Asare of Asante Kotoko has earned a spot in the national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic, reflecting the trust placed in him by Ghana’s coach, Otto Addo.
Asare’s standout performances in the Ghana Premier League have secured his place as the only home-based player in the national team, highlighting the value placed on domestic talent.
Despite the lack of other local players in the squad, Asare’s selection signals the coaching staff’s belief in his potential.
He will vie for the starting goalkeeper position with the more experienced Lawrence Ati Zigi and Joseph Wollacott.
The Black Stars will begin their preparations for the crucial qualifiers with a training camp at the University of Ghana Stadium on Thursday.
