Inaki Williams, the Athletic striker, announced Tuesday that he will be wearing the shirt of Ghana’s national team. The Athletic striker chose the country where he was born to play in the World Cup in Qatar. In a video, the rojiblanco player proudly declares that it is now time to return home.
Rumours that the oldest brother would wear the colors of the African team started a month ago when Nico and Inaki visited Ghana to spend a few days with their families and enjoy their land. Many local media reported that Inaki was completing the documentation. This possibility has now been confirmed by several media outlets.
In a video that was shot in several parts of Bilbao, Ghana, the Athletic player says, “Every step in life has meaning, an evolution and a look towards the future that in turn leaves marks, a legacy.” My parents instilled values that are based on love, humility, and respect in me. They have shown me how to approach life and the importance of being a better person and professional. His family is the reason he made such an important decision about his future. He says, “I believe it is time to discover my roots, myself, and all that Africa and Ghana means to me and my family.”
The rojiblanco says that he wants to return some of the things he has given to us. He has also contributed to me as a brother, son and father. The rojiblanco ends by saying that “today is a great challenge.” Today I will defend Ghana with my values and flag. This means that I will leave my skin every moment and give the best of myself. I am one of “The Black Stars” (The Ghanaian nickname for the black stars)
