He contributed, along with the rest of the national team’s players, to qualifying to the last 16 round of the tournament and gave an honorable performance in the last match with Iran, which ended in its favor on penalties. 

Ousou had previously played for several Swedish clubs, including Hacken, which he joined in 2018 and continued in their ranks until 2021, where he also played on loan for Swedish teams Eskilstuna and Gais, before signing for Slavia Prague. 

He was loaned back to Hacken in August 2023 before returning at the end of last year. 

Slavia Prague decided to loan the player again so that he has more opportunities to play, and this time the choice fell on Club Cadiz. 

Cadiz currently occupies eighteenth place in the Spanish League.
