Iñaki Williams announced his retirement from Ghana's national team, choosing to end his international career after several years serving the Black Stars. The Athletic Bilbao forward, who was born in Bilbao but represented the African country, revealed that the Ghanaian federation allowed him to "go home", in reference to his decision to dedicate himself exclusively to his club career.
Throughout his international career, Iñaki Williams has 29 caps for Ghana, in which he managed to score two goals. The player represented the African country in various competitions, including the AFCON, always demonstrating a strong commitment to the national team despite being born and raised in Spain.
The decision to leave the national team comes at a time when the player wants to focus completely on Athletic Bilbao, his lifelong club. This choice represents the end of a peculiar connection in world football, with a player born in Spanish territory representing an African national team with great distinction.
The Ghanaian Football Association is said to have accepted the player's decision, allowing him to return to his club commitments. Iñaki Williams thus leaves a legacy with the Ghanaian national team, having been an important figure in recent years, although his numbers are not particularly extensive in terms of goals scored.
