BREAKING: Athletic Bilbao Star Inaki Williams Confirms He Will Play For Ghana by Markito(m) : 3:26 am |
Williams announced on his social media pages on Tuesday, sharing a video in which he stated that "he will defend Ghana's T-shirt."
He said among other things... "...that's why I feel the moment has come for me to find my origins within myself and with Africa and Ghana which means so much to me and my family. I want to return a small part of everything it has given to us because Ghana has played a significant part of becoming who I am as a person, as a son and as a brother." "Today a new challenge begins. From now on, I will defend Ghana's T-shirt with all my will whilst I give my best. I'm one of the Black Stars." The Ghana Football Association has endorsed the player's decision. Williams represented Spain, but it was only in a friendly, so his availability for Ghana was never in doubt. FIFA rules stipulate that players can switch countries if they have not played more than three matches for a country before the age of 21 and have not featured in a World Cup or continental tournament. Meanwhile, Williams' younger brother Nico Williams, who also plays for Athletic Bilbao, has yet to commit to playing for Ghana. The attacker is a member of Spain's U-21 national team. The two recently visited Ghana to get to know their roots and also to meet with the Ghana Football Association (GFA). Inaki, the eldest of the brothers, did not hide his pride in his roots, as he showed in a post on social media. "My ancestors, my blood," wrote the forward. Williams is expected to be named in the Ghana squad for the World Cup, with Black Stars facing Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in the group stage. He holds the LaLiga record for consecutive appearances -- 233 games -- after bettering the previous mark of 202 in October. Ghanasoccernet
