I would like to play against my brother him for Ghana and me for Spain. My parents would have a heart attack because they wouldn't know who to go with!' Nico Williams hoping to live out his World Cup dream this summer

"We have a very important challenge, and I hope to win the World Cup. I think we're going to win the World Cup with the team we have. There are world-class players who are going to help us. We have big rivals like France, England and Argentina, who are very tough, but I have a lot of confidence in ourselves. We're going to try to go step-by-step. Winning the World Cup would be the icing on the cake."

"There's a small chance that the pair could play against each other this summer, a scenario the club team-mates have never faced before and may never have the chance to do again. Spain play group games against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay if they win Group H and Ghana can finish second in England's group, it would put Nico and Inaki on a collision course in the last 16."

Nico Williams, a 23-year-old Athletic Bilbao winger, emerged as a key player in Spain's Euro 2024 championship victory and now heads to the World Cup in North America as a favorite. Williams expresses confidence in Spain's squad, highlighting world-class players capable of winning the tournament despite tough competition from France, England, and Argentina. Beyond the team's ambitions, Williams has a personal goal: potentially facing his elder brother Inaki in the knockout stages. Inaki pledged his international allegiance to Ghana in 2022 and has earned 25 caps for the Black Stars. The brothers, who are club teammates at Athletic Bilbao, have never played against each other competitively and may never get another opportunity, making a potential World Cup matchup historically significant.
