Jeremy Doku (L) receiving his Ghanaian passport from Ablakwa (R)
Manchester City attacker Jeremy Doku has acquired his Ghanaian passport, becoming a citizen of Ghana after going through the required processes.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, disclosed that the player has been granted a Ghanaian passport, which would allow him to travel to the country without any restrictions.
The minister further revealed that Doku’s parents reached out to make the request to ensure the player could visit them anytime he wants to.
Ablakwa stated that Doku was given a new chip-embedded passport to aid his travels and explore the Ghanaian culture.
“Jérémy Baffour Doku receives a Ghanaian passport for the first time. This was the wish of Jérémy and his family when they called on me last week — glad we successfully delivered a chip-embedded passport today.
“As a dual citizen, he is legally entitled to a Ghanaian passport. This significant development confirms Jérémy Baffour Doku’s commitment to fully reconnect with Ghana, despite playing for Belgium. I wish him the very best in his illustrious career,” the minister wrote on X on July 21, 2025.
This means Doku now holds dual citizenship as he already plays for the Belgium national team.
