Kwasi Sibo continues to wait for his first opportunity with the Ghana national team despite a standout campaign in Spain that saw him play a central role in Real Oviedo’s historic promotion to La Liga.
The 27-year-old midfielder, who joined the Spanish club in July 2024, featured in 42 matches across all competitions during the season.
Known for his tireless work rate and positional discipline, Sibo registered one goal and one assist, but his influence far surpassed statistics.
His consistent performances were instrumental in guiding Oviedo back to the top tier of Spanish football after a 24-year absence.
Yet, despite his contributions and rising reputation, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has remained silent.
Sibo has never received a call-up to the Black Stars—a situation he addresses with calm resolve rather than frustration.
“I have never received a call from the Ghana Football Association to play for the national team. For me, the best time has come, and I have always been convinced of that,” Sibo told Ghanaian station Asempa FM in a recent interview.
His response reflects a player grounded in humility and focus.
Rather than question the selection process or express bitterness, the Tema-born midfielder expressed support for those already donning the national jersey.
“I don’t blame the players called up by the Black Stars. I think they deserve their place, so I always support them sincerely,” he added.
Sibo’s attitude stands out in an era where overlooked players often voice discontent.
His quiet persistence is matched by a growing belief among Ghanaian football followers that his national team debut is only a matter of time.
Under contract with Real Oviedo until 2026, Sibo is expected to play a key role in the club’s La Liga campaign.
His transition from the Segunda División to Spain’s top flight will only heighten expectations and visibility, potentially paving the way for international recognition.
As Ghana seeks renewed balance and stability in midfield, Sibo’s qualities—discipline, composure, and reliability—may soon align with the national team’s needs.
Until then, the midfielder remains focused on his club duties, letting his performances continue to speak volumes.
