Uruguayan football icon Luis Suarez, 37, has announced he will retire from international duty after Friday's 2026 World Cup qualifier against Paraguay. The emotional announcement came during a press conference where the striker reflected on his 17-year career with La Celeste. 🎤🇺🇾
Known for his fiery passion and clutch goals, Suarez leaves as Uruguay's all-time top scorer with 69 goals and 39 assists in 142 appearances. His legacy includes four World Cups—with a standout 2010 semifinal run—and a historic 2011 Copa America triumph. 🏆✨
🔹 *By the Numbers*: – 4 World Cups – 4 Copa America tournaments – 5 La Liga titles (Barcelona/Atletico Madrid) – 1 Champions League trophy (Barcelona)
Suarez, now with Inter Miami in MLS, called the 2011 Copa America win his 'most beautiful moment'—a victory he wouldn't trade for 'anything in the world.' 💬 His farewell match promises to be an emotional send-off for a player who once famously declared: 'Until the last game, I gave my all.'
What's next for El Pistolero? While he'll continue club play, Friday marks the end of an era for Uruguayan football. 🖤💙
