Ghana’s Kwasi Sibo vows to fight for Real Oviedo starting role

Ghana midfielder Kwasi Sibo has vowed to fight for more playing time at club level, Real Oviedo in the Spanish La Liga.

The 27-year-old has managed six games out of the 11 matches played in the 2025/26 La Liga campaign and is yet to register a goal and assist after playing a key role in their promotion to the top flight last season.

The former Cheetah FC midfielder was a toast of Ghanaian football fans following his fine display in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The lanky player was called to replace the suspended Elisha Owusu and he marshaled the midfield with great finesse in his debut against Mali, a game the Black Stars won by 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Sibo has however struggled to command a regular shirt under Real Oviedo manager, Luis Carrion, a blip he is looking to work on.

“I am going to fight for my place at Oviedo to play more regularly every weekend. That’s one thing I’m focusing on — working hard to be in the team every weekend to play in the league,” he told Graphic Sports.

After his bright display for the four time African champions, the former Watford U-23 midfielder has hailed the senior national team’s unity, a quality he believes will work positively for the team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by Canada, USA and Mexico.

“One thing I’ve seen in this team is unity, and when a team is united and ready to fight for each other, it’s hard to beat. We are very united, and I feel we are on the right track.”

Ghana qualified for its fifth FIFA World Cup after collecting 25 points from ten matches to top Group I.
