Semenyo has said that his family were passionate supporters of the Ghana national team. He remembers watching Ghana’s 2010 World Cup quarter-final defeat, which he says left a lasting impression. Semenyo was called up to the Ghana national team on 26 May 2022 and made his debut for the Black Stars in a 3–0 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Madagascar on 1 June. On 14 November 2022, Semenyo was included in Ghana's 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He scored his first international goal in the team's final warm-up match for the tournament, a 2–0 win over Switzerland on 17 November. At the tournament finals, he made two substitute appearances in the group matches against Portugal and Uruguay. Semenyo's first competitive goal for Ghana came in the sixth minute of stoppage time in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on 23 March 2023, giving the Black Stars a 1–0 win. In January 2024, he was named in Ghana's squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. He started all three group matches at the tournament as Ghana were eliminated with two draws and a loss. On 2 June 2026, Semenyo was named by Ghana's coach Carlos Queiroz in his list of 26 players in order to compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Semenyo had unsuccessful trials for London clubs Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Millwall. At the age of 15, he was rejected by Crystal Palace after an eight-week trial. He initially decided to give up on becoming a professional footballer before Dave Hockaday convinced him to join his youth academy program at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College. Semenyo's development saw Birmingham City, Crystal Palace and Bristol City show interest in signing him. Prior to signing for Bristol City's academy in September 2017, Semenyo had a brief spell at Hellenic League side Highworth Town, playing the final 13 minutes of an FA Cup preliminary round tie against Marlow on 20 August 2017.
