Black Stars defender Gideon Mensah marries long-time girlfriend in Accra

Black Stars and Auxerre left-back Gideon Mensah has tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Vicentia, in a beautiful traditional wedding ceremony held in Accra.

The ceremony, which took place on Friday, June 27, 2025, was attended by close family and friends who gathered to celebrate the couple’s new chapter together.

Mensah and Vicentia, who have been together for several years, decided to make their union official during the off-season break.

The 26-year-old defender is currently enjoying his holidays after a solid campaign with French Ligue 1 side Auxerre.

He is expected to travel to Europe with his new wife for their honeymoon before linking up with his teammates for pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.

Mensah has become an important part of the Ghana national team since making his debut in 2019.

He recently featured in the Black Stars squad for the Unity Cup matches in London. He has also represented Ghana at major tournaments, including the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup.

As he looks ahead to another busy season in Europe, Mensah will hope to build on his strong performances for both club and country, now with his wife Vicentia by his side.
