Ghanaian duo Afful and Mensah receive MLS championship rings

Published on: 11 June 2021

Ghanaian duo Harrison Afful and Jonathan Mensah have finally received their rings after winning the Major League Championship in 2020. 

The players together with their Columbus Crew teammates and staff of the club were presented the rings on Thursday at the new Crew stadium.

The rings are 10 carat yellow and white gold and have 2.15 total carat diamonds. The rings feature about 142 diamonds, as well as one black tone and one yellow stone. The entire ring is wrapped in a layer of diamond stones.

Afful and Mensah together with American-born Ghanaian Gyasi Zardes played a pivotal role in the club's success last season despite challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cambus Crew beat Seattle Sounders 3-0 in the finals to emerge champions of the MLS in 2020 following a decent run.

Jonathan Mensah became the first captain born in Africa to lead the Black and Golds to MLS success. He also played every minute of the regular season in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harrison Afful has been a stalwart since joining from Esperance in 2015.
