Full‑back Marvin Senaya has described his first call‑up to the Ghana national team as a moment of both pride and joy, even as questions continue about his international future.
The 25‑year‑old defender, who plays his club football with French side AJ Auxerre, was named in Ghana’s squad for upcoming friendly matches against Austria and Germany. This selection marks his maiden inclusion in the Black Stars setup and represents a major milestone in his career.
Senaya spoke openly about his excitement after receiving the call‑up, calling it a proud achievement for him personally. His selection underscores Ghana’s efforts to strengthen options at right back, a position where consistency has been a challenge in recent years.
However, his international allegiance has been the subject of speculation, as Togo’s national team also included him in their squad for friendly matches against Guinea and Niger. Togo’s head coach Patrice Neveu has suggested that Senaya had previously indicated a willingness to represent Togo.
Senaya, who is of both Ghanaian and Togolese descent, is eligible to play for either nation, leaving his next move closely watched by fans and officials alike. His decision on whether to report to Ghana’s camp or that of Togo is expected to determine his long‑term international future.
