Antoine Semenyo leads Ghana against England in World Cup group match

England‑born striker Antoine Semenyo, who chose to represent Ghana, will face his birth country in a World Cup group‑stage match in Boston. He said he never regretted the decision, noting, “I got a call from Ghana when I was 20 or 21, I could never say no… I’m proud to play for a country that means a lot to me,” and added that a win over England would send a powerful message.

Semenyo’s career has risen from non‑league football – a debut for Bath City and a stint at Bristol City – to becoming Ghana’s main attacking hope. The encounter with England will determine the top spot in Group L and a place in the knockout stage.
