Williams bids farewell to Ghana and will focus solely on Athletic | OneFootball

Iñaki Williams has made a radical decision regarding his professional career. The Athletic Club forward has officially announced his retirement from international football, meaning he will no longer wear the shirt of the senior Ghana national team.

The Biscayan attacker made his position public through a statement shared on his social media. In his message, the footballer thanked the federation, his teammates and the fans of the 'Black Stars' for the way he has been treated over the years.

Williams made his debut for the Ghana national team in 2022 after switching his sporting nationality, a move that fulfilled his family's wish. During this international spell, the player went on to feature in the World Cup in Qatar and the Africa Cup of Nations.

The decision comes at a time when the forward is at the height of his footballing maturity. Williams has chosen to step aside on the international stage in order to focus all his physical efforts on his career with the Bilbao club.

This retirement is a major setback for the Ghanaian team's attacking setup. The African federation loses one of its main attacking figures ahead of upcoming international fixtures and qualifying tournaments.
