Inaki Williams, a striker for Athletic Bilbao, has decided to represent Ghana’s Black Stars in preparation for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
This is good news for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as Williams has been the association’s long-term target.
Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association, and the technical staff of the Black Stars met with the striker when he travelled to Ghana on vacation following the nation’s qualifying for the World Cup.
In a tweet, he confirmed his decision to join the Black Star.
”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”, he tweeted.
Worth the Hype
Inaki previously made a commitment to play for Spain and made his collegiate debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016, however, he has since decided to change his nationality.
It’s a new record in Spain for Inaki to have somehow missed no La Liga games in six years. For the Red and Blacks team in 2021–2022, he also scored eight goals and contributed five assists.
