Antoine Semenyo says Ghana are determined to make a strong statement at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and prove they can compete with the best teams in the world.
The forward spoke with confidence about the ambition growing within the Ghana national team camp as the Black Stars prepare for football’s biggest tournament.
“We do want to write our own story,” Semenyo said. “We’ve got such a good team, and we just need to prove to the world that we can be up there and compete with everyone else.”
His comments reflect the belief inside the squad that the current squad has the quality and mindset to challenge the world’s top nations.
For the 26-year-old, the first major target is to move beyond the group stage; a hurdle that has often proved difficult for many African teams at the mundial.
“I don’t want to jinx anything,” he admitted, “but for me personally, getting through the group stage would be a start for us.”
Although cautious with his words, Semenyo believes the Black Stars can go even further if they perform at their best.
“I feel like we can go on and do special things,” he added.
