Throughout the World Cup, she was a visible presence in the stands and on social media, regularly spending time with Antoine's brother Jai during matchdays.

How did Semenyo perform at 2026 World Cup?

Semenyo played in all four of Ghana's matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including the Round of 32 defeat to Colombia.

The 26-year-old arrived at the tournament in fine form, but he found it difficult to make the same impact.

That was partly because Ghana spent much of the time defending deep, leaving him with limited opportunities in attack.

His best moment came in the 1-0 win over Panama on June 17, when his clever build-up play helped Brandon Thomas-Asante create the chance for Caleb Yirenkyi to score the winning goal.

According to Goal, Semenyo's performance earned him the Man of the Match award.
