Aghehowa, who has Nigerian heritage and could have represented the Super Eagles, instead chose Spain, where he went on to win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Williams, of Ghanaian descent, and Yamal, with Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean roots, also proudly represent Spain, reflecting the growing diversity in European football.
This moment of unity and celebration comes at a time when Spain’s national team has been lauded for its inclusivity, a topic highlighted in a 2022 New York Times article noting the squad’s increasing representation of the country’s diverse population.
The song "Shake Body," produced by Skales, remains a timeless anthem, with its infectious beat still resonating over a decade after its release.
Fans on X were quick to praise the track’s enduring appeal, with one user, commenting, “Good song don’t fade.” while another questioned why Aghehowa opted for Spain over Nigeria, sparking discussions about player eligibility and national team choices.
This viral moment adds a layer of strong brotherhood to the Spanish squad’s recent high-stakes clash against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.
The match, which ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw before Spain edged out a 5-4 victory on penalties, showed the talents of players like Aghehowa, Williams, and Yamal.
Their on-field chemistry, paired with their off-field bond as seen in the dance video, shows the unity driving Spain’s success in the tournament.
