Austrian Bundesliga defender Beres Owusu says representing Ghana would be more than just a football achievement, describing it as a powerful symbol of pride, culture, and identity.
The Grazer AK centre-back, born in France to Ghanaian parents, explained that his upbringing kept him closely connected to Ghana despite spending his early years abroad.
Speaking to JoySports journalist Joseph Ayinga-Walter, Owusu revealed that playing for the Ghana national football team has been a lifelong ambition.
“For me, it will mean a lot. It’s not just about football, it will be about pride and culture,” he said.
“I grew up with Ghanaian education because of my parents, so wearing the Black Stars jersey represents the whole nation. For me, it will be a dream come true.”
Owusu further stressed that his international future has always been clear in his mind.
“Even though I was born in France, it’s something I’ve known since childhood — if I play international football, it will be for Ghana,” he added.
The 22-year-old has been steadily developing in Austria, establishing himself as a reliable defender for Grazer AK during the ongoing season.
With Ghana continuing to expand its pool of eligible talent across Europe, Owusu’s public declaration of commitment could place him firmly on the radar for future Black Stars consideration.
