    Athletic Bilbao have officially named Iñaki Williams as the club’s new captain following the departure of long-serving skipper Óscar De Marcos, who played his final match against Barcelona on the last day of the La Liga season, Sunday, May 25, 2025.

    Williams, 30, has been a mainstay in the Bilbao first team since the 2014/15 season and served as vice-captain during the just-ended campaign.

    His leadership, consistency, and commitment to the club have now been rewarded with the captain’s armband.

    The Ghana international enjoyed an impressive 2023/24 season, contributing 14 goals and assists in 35 La Liga appearances, a key factor in Bilbao’s qualification to the Champions League and his recognition as the Best African Player in La Liga.

    Williams has already lifted the Copa del Rey once and the Spanish Super Cup twice with Athletic Club.

    His impact both on and off the pitch is evident, having made over 460 appearances for the Basque side and scoring more than 100 goals.

    The club confirmed the captaincy change on social media shortly after De Marcos handed the armband to Iñaki Williams as he was substituted off the field in his final game against Barcelona, a symbolic moment that marked the beginning of a new era.

    “We have a new Athletic Club captain! De Marcos hands over the armband to… At your orders… Captain Kwaku! Congratulations, @Williaaams45! We know you’ll lead our Lions with passion and pride,” the club posted.

    🫡 At your orders… Captain Kwaku!
