Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has urged Ghanaians to rally behind the Black Stars ahead of their World Cup qualifiers in March.

Semenyo has been in excellent form this season, scoring nine goals across all competitions for Bournemouth. His seven Premier League goals—the same as teammate Dango Ouattara—are only behind Justin Kluivert’s 12 for the club.

Since making his Black Stars debut in 2022, Semenyo has become a key player, representing Ghana at both the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

With Ghana set to face Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Semenyo is calling on Ghanaians to show their support and turn up in large numbers for the team.

“As you know, we’ve got our World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar. I’m just reaching out to say continue praying for us. Continue being with us.continue supporting us; we need you more than ever, he said via the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Ghana currently lie second in Group I, level on points with Comoros, requiring victories in their upcoming games to stand a higher chance of progressing to the World Cup.

Acknowledging the task ahead, Semenyo added: “These two games are so important and crucial for our qualification in the World Cup, so please continue praying for us. Continue supporting us, be there for us, support us in the games in March. We look forward to seeing you and hopefully we can get two wins.”

Ghana, who failed to qualify for the 2025 AFCON, are yet to win a game since June 2024 and will be looking for their first win in 9 months.
