Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) chairman Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has urged Black Stars coach Otto Addo to expand his scouting network to include more players from the Ghana Premier League.
His call follows Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare’s impressive performances in Ghana’s recent 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Asare, 32, earned his first national team call-up and was preferred over experienced goalkeepers Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Jojo Wollacott, keeping back-to-back clean sheets in both matches.
Speaking to Graphic Sports, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe stressed that Ghana’s past successes in the Africa Cup of Nations were built on a strong foundation of homegrown talent.
“If the coach limits his visits only to Accra and Kumasi stadia, he might not spot the required talents,” he said.
“He [Otto Addo] must spread his tentacles by visiting every nook and cranny of the country to identify promising players,” he added.
Asare’s standout performances have strengthened his case to become Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper moving forward.
The Black Stars now turn their attention to the next round of World Cup qualifiers in September, where they will travel to face Chad before hosting Mali in Matchday 7 and 8 of the campaign.
