Basake Holy Stars’ young gem, Francis Osei Owusu, stole the spotlight on Ghana Premier League matchday 9 with a sensational performance in his team’s 2-0 victory over defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars at the Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III Sports Arena in Ampain.
The 17-year-old winger, a proud product of Tarkwa Barcelona, mesmerized fans with his electrifying pace, quick feet, and fearless dribbling, dictating play from the flanks and injecting energy into every Basake attack. His flair, creativity, and composure on the ball proved pivotal as the Nzema-based side celebrated their first win of the 2025/26 season.
Owusu’s exceptional form has now earned him a well-deserved invitation to the national U-20 team, the Black Satellites of Ghana, marking a major milestone in his promising career. The call-up comes as no surprise to many who witnessed his commanding display and growing consistency this season.
He was substituted in the 84th minute, making way for Prince Gamor, and received a standing ovation from the home supporters, a well-deserved tribute to his mature and dazzling performance.
Francis Osei Owusu’s rise is a glowing testament to the steady progress of Basake Holy Stars’ youth development system, and his latest recognition reaffirms the club’s commitment to nurturing exceptional talent from Nzema and beyond.
With his eyes now set on representing Ghana at the youth level, the future looks incredibly bright for the young prodigy, a star whose football journey has only just begun.
