In late May 2019, Owusu was named in Ghana's 29-man provisional squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
He subsequently debuted for the Black Stars in early June, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 friendly loss to Namibia.

Despite his team's defeat, Owusu made a strong impression and got included in James Kwesi Appiah's final 23-man AFCON selection.
He has since gone on to play four times for the Black Stars of Ghana.
Owusu has made two appearances each for Čukarički in Europa League Qualifying and the Super Liga Srbije in the 2019-20 season.
