“My debut Ghana call up will not get into my head” – Owusu

Medeama SC midfielder Prince Owusu says he will not be carried away by his first senior call up and the eventual debut game for Ghana national team the Black Stars.

The 21-year-old earned his maiden invitation for Ghana’s final two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Central African Republic and Comoros, going on to make a cameo appearance against Central African Republic in the 5-0 win at the Stade d’Honneur de Mekness in Morocco.

Owusu, who is a mainstay in Medeama’s setup in the Ghana Premier League says he was not under pressure when he received his debut call up by coach Otto Addo.

Prince Owusu promises to work harder

“There was no pressure on me because I had received pieces of advice and as a player, there is no senior player but off the field, you accord people the needed respect [So my call up] did not bring me any pressure,” Prince Owusu told MEDi TV.

“I will not get carried away by the first invitation but I will rather work hard just as I worked hard to attract the attention of the coach [Otto Addo]. I will work extra hard.”

The four time African champions topped Group I with an impressive 25 points’ haul after ten qualifying matches. The qualification was Ghana fifth after appearance at the 2006, 2010, 2014 and the 2022 editions.
