Brothers Inaki and Nico Williams, who were born in Spain, have reportedly accepted to switch nationality to play for Ghana.

Both footballers were born in Spain and ply their trades at Athletic Bilbao, but are eligible to play for the Black Stars.

The Williams brothers were born to Ghanaian parents who emigrated to the European nation over two decades ago.

According to reprts, the duo have finally agreed and accepted to play for the country of their parents.

The report suggests the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has also begun the processes to facilitate their nationality switch.

Should this happen, Inaki and Nico will be available to feature at the 2022 World Cup later this year in Qatar.

The Black Stars have been paired in a tough Group H, where they’ll be facing Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
