Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has arrived in Madina, Ghana, for a special visit to reconnect with his roots and give back to the community that shaped his family’s story.
The 23-year-old Belgium international, born to Ghanaian parents, touched down recently for a brief but meaningful stay.
Though he proudly wears Belgium’s colours on the international stage, Doku has never hidden his strong bond with Ghana, speaking fluent Twi, celebrating Ghanaian music and food, and crediting his heritage for shaping who he is on and off the pitch.
On Monday, July 14, 2025, the winger made a stop at his family house, catching up with relatives and neighbours.
But his trip was about more than family, the Man City star also organised the Jeremy Doku Cup, a local football tournament aimed at inspiring young players in the area.
In a video shared by 3Sports, Doku and his entourage were spotted at the Madina Astro Turf watching the final clash between Field Masters and GIS, as fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the Premier League star giving back to his roots.
Doku’s parents regularly return to Ghana, and the player has hinted at more frequent visits in the future to strengthen ties with the community and support local youth through football.
