Belgian international and Manchester City winger Jérémy Doku recently received his Ghanaian passport, reaffirming his connection to his ancestral roots.
The 23-year-old athlete, known for electric pace and flair, expressed pride in holding dual citizenship. Although he continues to represent Belgium in international football, Doku said embracing Ghanaian heritage is personally meaningful to him.
Sports leadership in Ghana welcomed the development, with supporters suggesting he could become a symbolic ambassador for Ghana’s football culture. While a future switch to represent Ghana remains unlikely under FIFA regulations, his gesture signifies a growing trend of diaspora athletes reaffirming their identity and influence.
