Antoine Griezmann has officially retired from international football after a decade-long career with the French national team, as he announced on Monday.

The 33-year-old forward played a crucial role in leading France to three major finals, including the Euro 2016 final, the victorious 2018 World Cup campaign, and the 2022 World Cup final loss. He also helped France win the 2021 UEFA Nations League.

Griezmann's final outings for France occurred during this month's Nations League matches, following the team’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 semifinals. The Atlético Madrid star now concludes his international journey.

"It is with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life," Griezmann posted on social media. "Thank you for this magnificent, tricolour adventure, and see you soon."

"Today, with profound emotion, I announce my retirement as a France national team player," Griezmann said. "After ten incredible years marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it's time for me to turn the page and make room for the new generation.

"Wearing this shirt has been an honour and a privilege … I leave the France national team with a sense of pride and gratitude. I had the honour of representing our country, and the chance to experience extraordinary moments, like becoming a world champion.

"I'll continue to follow Les Bleus with passion. I'm convinced that the future is bright, and I can't wait to see the next generation shine."

Antoine Griezmann made his first appearance for the French national team in March 2014 during a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in a friendly match. Since his debut, Griezmann has been coached by Didier Deschamps, who has been at the helm of France’s national team since 2012.

In 2016, Griezmann featured in all seven matches as France advanced to the final of the European Championship, only to lose 1-0 to Portugal.

In 2018, he played a pivotal role in France’s World Cup triumph in Russia, starting every match and netting four goals, including one from the penalty spot in the final against Croatia.

Griezmann adopted a deeper midfield role during the 2022 World Cup, where France again reached the final but lost to Argentina on penalties.

He accumulated 137 caps for France, scoring 44 goals. Over the weekend, Griezmann started for Atlético Madrid in their 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in La Liga.

The forward has openly expressed his desire to finish his career playing in Major League Soccer (MLS).
