Opening up on his background, Duah said his parents used to live in  Ghana but had to leave for England for a better life.

“It was a big moment for my family and me. To score the first goal for Switzerland in a European Championship, I don’t think everyone does that, and we were all very happy,” he told the BBC.

“I was born in London but we don’t have family there anymore. My mum and dad were in  Ghana but they had an opportunity to go to England because it offered a better life.”

Playing at Euro 2024 means Duah is no longer eligible to play for  Ghana despite his parents coming from the West African country.
