Ibrahim Salifu considering Benin switch over Ghana
Former Hearts of Oak midfielder Salifu Ibrahim is close to switching nationality to Benin.
Salifu left Hearts of Oak some two seasons ago to join FC Drita in Kosovo and has been a consistent performer for the club.
He was pivotal in aiding FC Drita in winning the Kosovo league.
The diminutive playmaker was the toast of many fans in the Ghana Premier League, where he led Hearts of Oak to the treble under coach Samuel Boadu.
It’s said that Salifu’s family roots give him the opportunity to play for Ghana’s neighbors on the right side of the geographical map.
Benin will be at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations alongside DR Congo, Senegal, and Botswana in Group D.
This week’s Ghana Premier League 2026/27 games produced incredible results across the various game venues.

Hearts head coach Nebojša Kapor has lamented the infrastructure problems in Ghanaian football.
Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.
Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.
Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.
“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.
The Serbian tactician’s remarks reflect growing frustration among coaches over the quality of playing surfaces across the league.
The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
Port City FC head coach Ennin Christopher admitted the pain of defeat after his side fell 1-0 to Accra Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
Frank Abora Duku’s 20th-minute strike proved decisive as the Phobians secured a hard-fought home victory.
Reflecting on the result, Ennin stated his ambitions prior to the game was to win.
“I didn’t come here to draw; I came to win. So, losing is painful, but that’s football,” the Port City coach said.
Before the game, they occupied the 3rd spot on the log and were looking to continue that feat against Hearts tonight.
They will hope to regroup as they face off with Dreams FC in Kukurantumi next week.
