Benjamin Asare Returns as Gideon Mensah Leads Black Stars Against South Korea

Ghana’s Black Stars are primed to shine in Seoul, as Head coach Otto Addo has unveiled his starting XI for the Kirin Challenge Cup clash against the Taegeuk Warriors, combining experience, flair, and youthful energy.

Between the posts, Benjamin Asare returns to goal, replacing Joseph Anang, bringing sharp reflexes and authority to the team. The defensive line features Alidu Seidu, Jonas Adjetey, Kojo Oppong Peprah, and captain Gideon Mensah, tasked with keeping the Black Stars’ fortress intact.

The midfield trio of Caleb Yirenkyi, Kwasi Sibo, and Prince Owusu will dominate the engine room, linking defence to attack with composure and vision. Up front, Christopher Bonsu Baah, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Prince Kwabena Adu spearhead a lethal attack, blending pace, creativity, and clinical finishing.

Addo’s lineup signals intent: control, flair, and a statement performance on Korean soil.
