Kouassi and Ivory Coast will take on D.R. Congo this month in a home and away fixture.
Kouassi made her senior debut for the Ivorian national team during the 2020 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Women’s Olympic qualifying tournament, helping Ivory Coast to the semifinals before falling to eventual runner-up Cameroon. Most recently, Kouassi helped Ivory Coast to a quarterfinal finish at this summer’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, providing a match-winning assist during group play as well.

Kouassi has appeared in 45 total matches for Washington since joining the side in the summer of 2024. With ten goals and 12 assists so far in her Spirit career, Kouassi is a consistent attacking threat for the club.
