Jérémy Doku proudly embraces Ghanaian roots with new Passport

Manchester City winger and Belgian international, Jérémy Baffour Doku, has officially acquired a Ghanaian passport, affirming his deep personal connection to his country of origin.

The 22-year-old footballer, born in Belgium to Ghanaian parents, received the passport for the first time, marking a symbolic moment in his life and career.

While Doku remains committed to playing for the Belgian national team, the move underscores his desire to stay grounded in his Ghanaian heritage.

Doku has often expressed pride in both his Ghanaian and Belgian identities, regularly acknowledging how his cultural roots have shaped his journey as a professional athlete.

His acquisition of dual citizenship places him among a growing number of second-generation diaspora athletes reconnecting with their ancestral homelands.

In Ghana, the news has been met with admiration, especially among football fans and cultural enthusiasts. For many, it represents more than a legal formality, it is seen as a meaningful bridge between two footballing nations and a proud gesture of identity.

Doku joined Manchester City in 2023 and quickly earned recognition for his pace, flair, and versatility.

As he continues to shine in the Premier League and on the international stage, his decision to publicly embrace his Ghanaian roots further elevates his profile as a global athlete with African pride.
