Luis Suarez announced his retirement from international football during an emotional press conference at Montevideo’s Centenario Stadium. He revealed that he will play his final match for Uruguay in the World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on Friday.
Suarez expressed that he is leaving the national team with no regrets, feeling satisfied that he has given his best effort throughout his career. He believes that retiring on his own terms, rather than being forced out by injuries or lack of call-ups, is a source of pride for him.
At 37 years old, Suarez acknowledged that reaching another World Cup would be challenging. He feels comforted by the fact that he is stepping away from international football voluntarily, rather than being pushed out by circumstances.
Suarez admitted that making the decision to retire was not easy, but he is content knowing that he gave his all until the end. He is ready to move on, feeling that it is the right time to step aside.
