Ghana: The Sibo Brothers’ Legacy — Kwasi Honors Simon’s Number 15

Sele Media Africa — Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan

In a touching tribute to family and legacy, Kwasi Sibo has taken on the number 15 jersey for his debut with Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars, in 2025 — the same jersey his older brother Simon Zibo wore while playing for the Black Meteors (Ghana U‑23) back in 2019. [1]

🔍 Key Details

• 2019: Simon Zibo wore the No. 15 jersey for Ghana U‑23 (the Black Meteors) during the CAF U‑23 Championship qualifiers. [2]
• 2025: Kwasi Sibo is called up to the Black Stars and picks the same No. 15, symbolizing respect for his brother’s path and a nod to family heritage. [3]
• The move is being celebrated by fans who see it as a powerful reminder of continuity and honoring those who laid the groundwork. [4]

🗣️ What It Means

Kwasi’s choice reflects more than just a jersey number — it’s a gesture of respect, a lifting up of family pride, and a silent promise to carry forward the legacy. In a sport where jersey numbers can carry symbolic weight, this marks a deeply personal moment for the Sibo family and fans of Ghanaian football alike.
