The Bournemouth striker, born in England to Ghanaian parents, is expected to play a key role when Ghana face one of the tournament favourites.
While the fixture carries added significance because of his background, Semenyo insists his focus remains solely on helping Ghana succeed.
“I could never say no to Ghana. My family is Ghanaian, I grew up around the culture and I have always felt connected to the country.”
His comments have been warmly received by supporters, many of whom view his commitment as an example of the strong connection many dual-nationality players maintain with their heritage.
A Journey Shaped by Heritage
Although Semenyo developed through the English football system, his Ghanaian roots remained a major influence throughout his upbringing.
Family ties, cultural traditions and a lifelong affection for the Black Stars all played a role in shaping his international future.
When the opportunity arrived to represent Ghana, the decision was straightforward.
Rather than viewing it as a career choice, Semenyo saw it as a chance to honour his family's heritage on the international stage.
Focus Turns to England
Attention has now shifted to Ghana's crucial encounter with England.
The Black Stars know the challenge will be significant, but confidence within the camp has grown following recent performances.
England boast one of the strongest squads at the tournament, yet Ghana believe they possess the quality, discipline and determination needed to compete at the highest level.
Why Semenyo Matters
Semenyo's pace, strength and relentless work ethic make him one of Ghana's most dangerous attacking players.
His ability to press defenders and create space for teammates adds another dimension to the Black Stars attack.
