Jesse Bisiwu opts for Belgium over Ghana after call-up effort
Summary

Barcelona's Jesse Bisiwu has decided to represent Belgium internationally instead of Ghana after discussions with the Ghana Football Association. Despite Ghana's interest in bringing him directly into their senior team, Bisiwu’s father has declined the offer, favoring his son's existing ties to Belgium. The young winger has played extensively for Belgium at the youth levels, already making 25 appearances across Under-15 through Under-19 categories. As Bisiwu continues to develop at Barcelona, his journey in Belgian football will be closely monitored by national selectors.
