Career

Ange Ahoussou joined RC Abidjan at the tender age of 13 when he became a part of their academy. He penned his inaugural professional contract during the summer of 2019. Making his debut for the first team at a mere 16 years old, he swiftly secured a pivotal role in the RCA squad that clinched the MTN Ligue 1 in 2020. He made his debut in the CAF Champions League aged 19. As whispers of interest from European outfits swirled around, Ange Ahoussou took a decisive step in January 2022, joining the ranks of OGC Nice, a club with close ties to RC Abidjan. Draped in the colors of an Ivorian U23 international jersey, Ange Ahoussou spent a fruitful half-season honing his skills with Nice's reserve team before embarking on a loan spell last summer. The destination was La Berrichonne de Châteauroux. Gradually finding his rhythm, Ange Ahoussou made his presence felt in the Championnat National. Over the course of 20 matches, where he featured in 19 starting lineups, he contributed two goals and an assist. His efforts played a pivotal role in securing Châteauroux's survival under the astute guidance of Maxence Flachez. At the onset of the 2023–2024 season, Ange Ahoussou found himself on the verge of an exciting chapter as OGC Nice initially arranged a loan deal with Ligue 2 club FC Sochaux. This move, however, took an unexpected turn when FC Sochaux faced regulatory setbacks, leading to the cancellation of the loan due to the club's relegation by the DNCG, the French football financial watchdog.

Ange Ahoussou ultimately secured a transfer to Pau FC. [4] While the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed (rumored to amount to 400K€), his transition to Pau FC signifies an exciting new phase in his promising career. Ahoussou began his Pau career during a 3–0 Ligue 2 win against FC Girondins de Bordeaux on 7 August 2023. [5]
