Ghana defender Jonas Adjetey targets Champions League football with FC Basel

Ghana defender Jonas Adjetey is aiming to make his mark in the UEFA Champions League next season with Swiss champions FC Basel.

The 21-year-old played a crucial role in Basel’s resurgence, helping the club secure their first Swiss Super League title in seven years, along with the domestic cup to complete a historic double.

These victories marked the first major honours of Adjetey’s professional career.

After a limited role in the previous season, where he started just 11 league matches, Adjetey became a key figure in the 2024/25 campaign, making 32 appearances in the league and cementing his place in the starting lineup.

With the league title win, FC Basel have booked a place in the play-off round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League — a decisive step toward reaching the tournament’s elite group stage.

“For me, it’s a great honour to play in the Champions League. We will play a play-off. I just pray we get the win, and then we can fit in (group phase),” he told Flashscore.

“But for me to play in the Champions League is a very great honour. I always watch the Champions League,” he added.
