Ghanaian football talents Gideon Mensah and Elisha Owusu concluded a remarkable season with Auxerre, clinching the Ligue 2 championship and securing promotion back to Ligue 1 in France.

Throughout the season, the duo played integral roles in Auxerre’s success, culminating in a stellar performance in their final match, a resounding 4-1 victory over Concarneau.

Having sealed promotion the previous week, Auxerre’s triumph was officially confirmed in front of their jubilant supporters on Friday. Mensah and Owusu were awarded medals for their contributions to the league triumph and are already eagerly anticipating the challenges of the upcoming campaign.

Mensah brings invaluable experience to the team, having previously enjoyed two seasons in Ligue 1 before experiencing relegation with Auxerre last season. On the other hand, Owusu returned to France in January 2023 after a stint with KAA Gent in Belgium.

With their impressive form, Mensah and Owusu are strong contenders to feature in Otto Addo’s squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic next week. Their stellar performances for Auxerre underscore their readiness to represent Ghana on the international stage.
