Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Samu Omorodion went viral after dancing to Skales' "Shake Body" following Spain's UEFA Nations League draw with Croatia. The trio, showcasing their African roots, celebrated with a fun, spontaneous moment. This highlights the cultural influence of African music in global football.
Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Samu Omorodion, three of Spain's rising football talents, recently made headlines after a viral video showed them dancing to Nigerian artist Skales’ hit song "Shake Body" following a UEFA Nations League match.
The clip, filmed after Spain’s 3-3 draw against Croatia, quickly gained attention online. While Yamal and Williams were active players in the match, contributing to Spain’s eventual penalty shootout victory, Omorodion, although part of the squad, was an unused substitute. Despite the competitive nature of the game, the trio took a moment to celebrate by showing off their dance moves, much to the delight of fans worldwide.
What makes this moment even more remarkable is the players’ connection to African roots. Yamal’s heritage is tied to Morocco and Equatorial Guinea, while Williams' family hails from Ghana. Omorodion, though born in Spain, has Nigerian ancestry. The cultural diversity of these players highlights Spain’s growing multicultural influence in football.
