Germany Captain Ilkay Gundogan Announces International Retirement from Football
Ilkay Gundogan, the 33-year-old captain of the German national football team, has officially announced his retirement from international football. This decision comes on the heels of Germany’s performance at Euro 2024, where Gundogan led his country to the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual champions, Spain, in extra time.
Gundogan cited “tiredness in my body and my head” as a factor in his decision, noting that these feelings emerged before the start of Euro 2024.
Gundogan’s retirement marks the end of an era for German football. His leadership and midfield prowess were crucial in Germany’s recent resurgence, particularly during Euro 2024. The national team will now face the challenge of filling the void left by their captain as they look ahead to the 2026 World Cup.
