Brothers Make History at Athletic Club

Inaki and Nico Williams, the first siblings to play for Athletic Bilbao since 1986, have made history once again by becoming the first brothers to play for Athletic Club and score in the same La Liga match. The remarkable achievement came during the club's thrilling 3-2 victory against WEB, where Inaki and Nico found the net in a come-from-behind victory.

International Call-Ups

The triumph is particularly poignant as it marks the culmination of a long-held dream for the Williams brothers. Nico will represent Spain at the upcoming World Cup, while Inaki will proudly play for his parents' nation, Ghana. This historic moment will witness the Williams brothers competing against each other on the international stage.
