Netizens clash over Ben Asare's World Cup thanksgiving party with models

Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has come under criticism after a video from his World Cup thanksgiving party surfaced on social media.

The Hearts of Oak goalkeeper hosted the celebration at Oasis in Osu on August 30, 2026, to thank Ghanaians for their support following his impressive campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

A new video from the event shows Asare seated and engaged in conversation with Ghanaian actress Sylvia Davis and others.

Several ladies and models also reportedly attended the party to grace the occasion and share in the player’s success.

However, since videos from the event surfaced online, some social media users have expressed anger, criticising the goalkeeper for hosting such a party after a major tournament without achieving any significant success.

Others cautioned him to be wary of women as he approaches the twilight of his career, urging him to manage his finances prudently to avoid going bankrupt in the future, as has happened to other players.

Meanwhile, some defended Asare’s actions, arguing that he has worked hard to reach this level in his career and has every right to enjoy himself in a way that appeals to him.

Certain fans described the critics as “hypocrites,” insisting that Asare cannot be forced to decide how he enjoys his wealth, especially since his diligence earned him the money in the first place.

If this is how Benjamin Asare plans to enjoy his fame and money, then he might have a problem. One impressive World Cup and the nightlife has already started?

@SaddickAdams It’s obvious he didn’t spend a dime on that programme. D Black is simply leveraging his popularity and influence to help revive his club.

You guys should relax with the slander. 😂

It’s so sad to see. Goalkeeping department is the most fickle position in the national team. He couldn’t even get a move abroad and he’s there misbehaving. All the money will go waste and he’ll be back to square one in few years.

If I talk p3, people will say he can do what he wants with his money ? He should change his agent to be able to get a team outside. Cos how the English premier league is spreading money on this transfer market is mind blowing. He should move fast before it’s too late.
