About Nico Williams’ Parents
As per reports, Nico Williams’ parents journeyed from Accra, Ghana, to the Basque Country when Maria was pregnant with Nico’s older brother, Inaki, who is also a footballer and plays for Athletic Bilbao as a forward.
The Williams family settled in Pamplona, where Nico was born in July 2002. His father often worked away from home to support the family, taking on various jobs, including laborer, cleaner, and even shepherd.
When work dried up, Felix moved to London, leaving a three-year-old Nico with his mother and brother. Earlier, during a media conversation, Inaki revealed that his father, Felix, worked in a “shopping center near Chelsea.”
After being inspired by Spain’s 2010 World Cup triumph, Nico practiced tirelessly in the Rochapea neighborhood, honing his skills and surpassing his brother in talent.
Nico’s parents, Maria and Felix, endured significant hardships to provide a better life for their children.
Earlier, Maria recalled their treacherous journey through the Sahara desert and crossing the Mediterranean Sea, facing starvation, robbery, and arrest.
A lawyer from a Catholic NGO eventually helped them settle in Spain.
Felix took on various jobs in agriculture and construction to support the family. Their perseverance and struggles shaped Nico and Inaki, who both pursued football passionately.
Nico joined Athletic Bilbao’s youth academy in 2013 and advanced to the first team in 2021, playing alongside his brother.
Debuting for Spain’s senior side in 2022, Nico was part of the 2022 FIFA World Cup squad and the Euro 2024 squad, where he scored and was named man of the match in the final, leading Spain to victory.
