Winning the World Cup would be the icing on the cake.Nicos other ambition this summer concerns his elder brother, Inaki, who pledged his international allegiance to Ghana, birthplace of the siblings parents in 2022 and has win 25 caps for the Black Stars.Theres 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.Get FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.Spain play group games against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay if they win Group H and Ghana can finish second in Englands group, it would put Nico and Inaki on a collision course in the last 16, if they both make it through their matches in the first knockout round.I dont know if well be able to meet at some point, but I would like to play against my brother him for Ghana and me for Spain, says Nico, who has 30 international caps himself.It would be a very nice duel I think my parents would have a heart attack because they wouldnt know who to go with!I hope I can play against him and win, although hes going to score five goals if we do meet each other.My brother knows all about the team we have Ghana are also a good team. I hope we can cross paths if we do, well win, for sure!Spain begin their World Cup with a June 15 clash against Cape Verde, while Ghana kick off against Panama three days later.TOPICSSpainWorld Cup 2026Joe MewisSocial Links NavigationFor more than a decade, Joe Mewis has worked in football journalism as a reporter and editor.
