France's Player Hugo Lloris Retires From International Football
France captain Hugo Lloris has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 36.
"I think it is important to announce this now, two and a half months before the start of Euro qualifying."
"I have really been thinking about it since the end of the World Cup, but there has been something deep inside of me for maybe six months now and which grew during the competition, leading me to make this decision," Lloris said.
Former Nice and Lyon goalkeeper Lloris captained France to victory at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He played at seven major tournaments in total, including Euro 2016, when France lost in the final to Portugal as hosts.
The next assignment for France is the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany, which begins at the end of March with a double-header against the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland.
