Inaki Williams criticises decision to play Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia

Ghana forward Inaki Williams has descended heavily on organisers of the Super Super Cup for sending the games to Saudi Arabia. 

The Spanish Super Cup has been held in the Asia nation since the 2029/20 season following an agreement with the Spanish Football Federation. It will continue till 2029.

The mini-tournament pits the winners of the league and runners-up to the champions of the Copa del Rey and the losing finalist.

“For me, playing (the tournament) in Saudi Arabia is s—,” he said ahead of Atletico Madrid's game against Real Madrid on Thursday.

“Taking a national competition out to another country does not make things easy for (the fans) to move and follow the games," he added.

Williams is expecting his first child with wife Patricia Morales in the coming days, and the Ghana international admits it will challenge being out of the country at this time.

“When we play there, it feels like we are the away team. Above that, in the upcoming days, I am going to be a dad, and it is a big hassle to go away with my wife and son here," he continued.

“It’s a shame that such a beautiful match was played so far away because I think that if it had been played closer, the stadium would have been filled with many of our fans."
