According to him, the call-up for the World Cup is not only big for him but his parents and the entire family who are happy for him.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet. It feels so real. I received a call on Monday saying that I have been selected, I was rolling around in the house, and I was excited.

“My family is just excited as I am, my mom was crying, and my dad was crying, so it was big for them just like it is for me,” Antoine Semenyo shared.
