Antoine Griezmann, one of France’s most accomplished footballers, has officially announced his retirement from international football.
The 33-year-old forward departs after a distinguished career with the French national team, where he earned 137 caps, scored 44 goals, and registered 38 assists.
Griezmann was instrumental in France’s major victories on the world stage, including their triumph at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2021 UEFA Nations League. He also won the Golden Boot at the 2016 UEFA European Championship.
In his farewell message, shared via a video on X on Monday, Griezmann said, “With a heart full of memories, I close this chapter of my life. Thank you for this incredible tricolour adventure. See you soon.”
His retirement signifies the end of an era for French football, as his contributions have been central to the team’s success over the last decade.
