Black Stars midfielder Kwasi Sibo joins Libyan side Al-Swehly
Sibo joins the club on a three-year deal with the option to extend for another year, signing as a free agent following the expiration of his contract at Real Oviedo.
Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo has signed a permanent deal with Libyan club Al-Swehly. The 28-year-old joins the team on a three-year contract, which includes an option to extend for an additional year. Sibo's move to Libya came after Real Oviedo declined to offer him a new deal at the end of the 2025/26 season, and a proposed transfer to the Turkish top flight fell through.
Additionally, Sibo rejected offers from French clubs and Major League Soccer. The financial terms of the deal have not been officially disclosed, but reports suggest it could be worth $10 million. The money will also be part of a wider initiative by the Libyan government to attract more African talent to the nation's football league.
Sibo returned to Ghana on Tuesday after flying to Cairo to finalize his move ahead of the 2026/27 season. The midfielder was a regular for the Black Stars during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, and played in every one of Ghana's matches.
