2023 AFCON qualifiers: Bristol City forward Antoine Semenyo ‘honoured’ after debut Black Stars call-up –

Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo is ‘honoured’ after being named in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming games.

It’s his first call-up to the Black Stars, and he’s eager to make an impact.

Semenyo, who enjoyed a terrific campaign in the English Champions, is included in the 33-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the four-nation tournament in Japan.

“Feel honoured to be named among these soldiers to represent mother Ghana. Let’s Do This” he posted on Facebook.

The 22-year-old scored 8 goals and provided 12 assists in 32 games in the just ended Championship campaign for Bristol City.

The invited 33 players are expected to start arriving this weekend to begin preparations for the games.

Black Stars face Madagascar in their first match of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers on June 1 at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

For the second match against the Central African Republic, Ghana will travel to Angola.

They will then compete in a four-nation tournament against Japan, Chile, and Tunisia as part of their preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in November.
