Uruguay’s legendary striker Luis Suárez has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 37. With 142 caps and a remarkable career spanning over 16 years, Suárez has been a pivotal figure in Uruguay’s national team, contributing significantly to their success, including reaching the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and winning the Copa América in 2011.
Suárez confirmed that his final match for Uruguay will be against Paraguay at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo this Friday, during the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The iconic forward recently scored a crucial stoppage-time goal against Canada, securing third place for Uruguay at the Copa América in July, demonstrating his enduring ability to make a difference on the field.
Having already announced that Inter Miami will be his last club, Suárez’s decision marks the end of an era. He joined the Major League Soccer side last year to reunite with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, capping off a storied career that has seen him play for some of the world’s top football clubs.
