Ghana international and AFC Bournemouth striker, Antoine Semenyo, is embracing a new personal journey alongside his thriving football career—a deeper exploration of his faith.
The 23-year-old, who has been making headlines for his impressive performances in the Premier League, recently opened up about his desire to learn more about God and the role faith plays in his life, both on and off the pitch.
“I want to learn more about God and what He’s done in my life,” Semenyo told Football Focus, highlighting that his faith journey is inspired by family.
Reflecting on his upbringing, Antoine Semenyo recalls how his parents’ dedication to church sometimes required sacrificing Sunday game time—a memory that now resonates with him as he prioritises his own spiritual growth.
Off the pitch, Semenyo’s routines include Bible study, connecting with teammates, and spending time with his 10-month-old dog, Bailey. He’s also part of Bournemouth’s “coffee club,” where players unwind and bond, adding a dose of camaraderie and mindfulness to his life.
This faith-centered approach mirrors the focus he brings to his football career, especially his commitment to the Ghana national team.
In the interview, Semenyo described his first call-up to the Black Stars as a “dream come true,” an honour that moved his family to tears. His pride in representing Ghana is unmistakable.
“It’s an honour to play for Ghana,” he said.
