According to him, the national team should ensure that the 20-year-old starts every match for the Black Stars at the 2026 World Cup in North America
This comes after he shared a vision he had about the Nordsjælland player, indicating that he saw Ghanaians hailing him for his standard performance.
He further urged Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz not to play Yirenkyi in defence but rather in the number 8 position, where he could make forward runs towards the opponent’s goal.
“If Ghanaians want to laugh at this World Cup, Caleb Yirenkyi should play every game. I am a prophet. I foresaw people hailing this young player at the World Cup, with many saying he was playing as if he was possessed; I saw it was Yirenkyi. I am not lying; I will not gain anything from this.”

“Apostle Amponsah is a man of God I revere very much. I just hope the team will look at the performance of Yirenkyi in Ghana’s last few games for the national team. If it has been pre-destined that Caleb will be the one to bring Ghana joy, then so be it. I appeal to the coach and the GFA not to ignore the message.”
