Manchester City Star Jérémy Doku Officially Receives Ghanaian Passport

Manchester City winger Jérémy Baffour Doku has officially received his Ghanaian passport for the first time, marking a significant and emotional moment of reconnection with his roots.

The passport, which includes a biometric chip, was issued following a formal request made by Doku and his family during a recent visit. As the child of Ghanaian immigrants, Doku is legally entitled to dual citizenship, and the new document cements his legal ties to Ghana alongside his Belgian nationality.

While Doku currently represents Belgium on the international football stage, the acquisition of his Ghanaian passport is being widely viewed as a powerful gesture of identity and cultural pride. For many Ghanaians, it reinforces the idea that heritage and origin continue to matter deeply—especially to diaspora-born talents like Doku, who has always acknowledged his Ghanaian lineage.

Officials involved in the process have described the moment as heartfelt and symbolic, highlighting the increasing number of global figures embracing their Ghanaian identity in tangible ways.

Although there’s no indication yet of a switch in international allegiance, the move has stirred excitement among Ghanaian football fans, who continue to follow the young winger’s career with pride.
