Marie-Claire Rupio, the gorgeous wife of the late Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu, has shared a photo of her son, Joshua Atsupie, holding a trophy similar in design to the FIFA World Cup.

The young budding footballer plays for the Under 9 division of the football club called Team Gosforth.

After a competitive final in the Pro Motiv8 Tournament in Washington, Joshua Atsupie and his team took home the trophy.

His mother was so happy that she took to her Instagram stories to share the memorable moment.

Considering this incredible milestone in his football career, Marie-Claire hinted that Joshua would make his late father proud.

She captioned the post saying,

Atsu's son

"Will make his dad proud."

She then added the crying emoji at the end of the message to signify that she was still in mourning.

Below is an old photo of Atsu's son radiating with smiles.
