Uruguay Football Legend Luis Suarez Announces Retirement from International Football

Uruguay’s legendary star Louis Suvaras has announced his retirement from international football. Suarez, 37, tearfully said Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Paraguay will be his last match in a Uruguay shirt. Suarez starts with the record of scoring the most goals (69) for Uruguay.

It’s been a while since I started thinking about retirement. I believe this is the right time. I want to play the last match with the national team in peace. I am going to play the last game with the same enthusiasm as when I was playing for the national team for the first time in 2007.

That 19-year-old is now a senior player, it doesn’t matter what you call it – I want to be remembered as a player who wrote history with the national team who gave his life for the national team, Suarez said.
