Inaki and Nico Williams: History-Making Brothers on the World Stage

Brothers Become First Siblings to Play for Athletic Bilbao Since 1986

On Saturday, brothers Inaki and Nico Williams etched their names into the history books of Athletic Bilbao. They became the first brothers to score in the same Spanish LaLiga match in 17 years, a feat that has not been accomplished by any other siblings since 1986.

Inaki's Journey to Stardom

Inaki Williams, the elder brother, has been a star for Athletic Bilbao for several years. Born to Ghanaian parents in Spain, he chose to represent his parents' nation rather than his birth country. He has made over 300 appearances for the Spanish national team, scoring 17 goals.

Nico's Rise to the First Team

Nico Williams, the younger brother, joined Athletic Bilbao's youth academy in 2013. He was promoted to the reserve team in 2020 and to the first team a year later, becoming a teammate of his elder brother. Nico has quickly made a name for himself, impressing with his pace, dribbling skills, and goal-scoring ability.

Heading to the World Cup

Both Inaki and Nico Williams are set to make history at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. Inaki will represent Ghana, while Nico will represent Spain. This marks the first time that two brothers will play for different countries in a World Cup.

The Williams brothers' journey is a testament to their talent, hard work, and the unbreakable bond between them. They have proven that anything is possible when you support each other and never give up on your dreams.
