Williams announced his decision in a statement, saying he believes the time has come to bring his journey with the Black Stars to an end.
The forward said he leaves the national team happy, proud and at peace, knowing that he gave his best whenever he represented Ghana.

He represented the country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

He expressed gratitude to everyone who supported him throughout his international career and said Ghana would always remain part of him.
Williams also pledged to continue supporting the Black Stars after his retirement.
“Medaase. Always Ghana,” he concluded.
