Athletic Bilbao’s forward Inaki Williams has announced that he is eligible to play for the Senior National team, the Black Stars following his Nationality switch from Spain.

The Spanish born star said in a video ” 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 am one of the Black Stars” Inaki said.

A quartet of players of Ghanaian decent in the likes of Tariq Lamptey (Brighton and Hove Albion), Stephen Ambrosius (Hamburger SV), Ransford-Yeboah Koningsdorffer (Hamburger SV) and Patric Pfeiffer (SV Damstadt 98) are now available for selection by the Black Stars Technical team.

This good news follows exhaustive engagements between the leadership of the GFA, the players and their parents in the last few months. The players are therefore available for selection in our upcoming International fixtures including the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

The availability of these players is a boost for Coach Otto Addo ahead of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers and Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The GFA President Kurt Okraku expressed his delight over these five players commiting their future to Ghana.

‘’The availability of these players’ means a lot to the Ghana Football Association and the Technical
team of the Black Stars’’ Mr Okraku explained.

‘’We have always maintained that we will not limit ourselves to only a small group of players but would scout top talents across the globe who are ready to sacrifice for the nation and to take us to the next level‘’

‘’This gives the Technical team more options to choose from adding to our continuous desire to improve the team’’
‘’Coach Otto Addo and his Technical team will continue to monitor and asses them for future assignments including the September games and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar’’ He told gfa.org.

Ghana’s next assignment is in September – a back to back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola.
