Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo has called on fans to throw their full support behind the Black Stars as they gear up for crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar later this month.
The 25-year-old is enjoying a stellar season with AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League, where his standout performances have caught the attention of top clubs, including Liverpool and Arsenal. Over the weekend, he was named Man of the Match in Bournemouth’s FA Cup victory over Wolves, further solidifying his impressive form.
Semenyo has been instrumental for the Cherries this season, registering nine goals and five assists in 30 appearances. As he prepares to join the national team for the qualifiers, he has emphasized the importance of fan support in their journey to secure a World Cup spot.
In a video shared by the Ghana Football Association, Semenyo delivered a heartfelt message to Ghanaian supporters:
“Black Stars fans, Antoine Semenyo here. As you know, we’ve got our World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar, and I’m just reaching out to say continue praying for us, continue being with us, and support us.”
“We need you more than ever. These two games are so important and crucial for our qualification to the World Cup, so please continue praying for us. We look forward to seeing you, and hopefully, we can get two wins.”
Ghana will host Chad on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium before traveling to Morocco to take on Madagascar on March 24. The Black Stars are determined to secure maximum points from these fixtures to strengthen their qualification hopes for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
