‘I made the decision for him’ – Adebayor on Senaya representing Ghana
The 25-year-old ultimately chose Ghana and featured in all four games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Former Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor disclosed that he influenced Marvin Senaya's decision to represent Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Senaya, who is of Ghanaian and Togolese descent, was called up to both national teams in March 2026. The 25-year-old ultimately opted for Ghana and played in all four matches during the World Cup.
Adebayor told 3Sports, "I was the one that made the decision for him actually. I told him there is no other choice. This is the only chance you have [to play for Ghana] because this [World Cup] can be your major tournament in your life." Adebayor expressed his happiness for Senaya, noting that Ghanaians were proud of him as well.
Injuries aside, the Auxerre defender continues to heal and work on his right leg during rehabilitation, aiming for a potential return to action. Ghana will kick off their 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Côte d'Ivoire on September 24 in Bouaké, followed by a home game against Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later.
