Ghanaian-Belgian footballer Jérémy Baffour Doku, who currently plays as a winger for Manchester City and represents the Belgian national team, has officially received his Ghanaian passport for the first time.
The move marks a significant personal milestone for the rising football star, as it reaffirms his connection to his Ghanaian roots. Though Doku continues to represent Belgium at the international level, obtaining his Ghanaian passport symbolises his desire to maintain a strong bond with his country of origin.
Born in Belgium to Ghanaian parents, Doku has often spoken about his pride in both identities. His decision to secure dual citizenship reflects a broader trend among second-generation diaspora athletes who are eager to embrace their cultural heritage alongside their professional commitments.
Fans and observers in Ghana have welcomed the news with excitement, viewing Doku’s gesture as a meaningful nod to his ancestry and a potential bridge between the football cultures of both nations.
