Brazil’s all-time top scorer female footballer Marta has announced her retirement. At the end of this year, the 38-year-old star will say goodbye to a 22-year international football career.
Before that, if he gets a chance, he will play for Brazil in the Paris Olympics. If that happens, he will get a chance to play in the Olympics for the sixth time.
Marta said in the media announcing her retirement, ‘If I get a chance to play in the Olympics, I will enjoy it very much. Because whether I go to the Olympics or not – this is going to be my last year in international football. I will not be seen in the national team from 2025.’
Marta won silver in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Both times they lost the final to USA.
Marta is the top goalscorer in the history of women’s and men’s soccer World Cups. He scored 17 goals in 23 matches in six World Cups. He went on the verge of winning the World Cup in 2007. However, he had to be content with being the runner-up after losing to Germany in the final.
The Brazil women’s football team was eliminated from the group stage of the last Women’s World Cup. At that time he said that he will not be seen again in the World Cup.
He has played 175 matches for Brazil since 2002. Scored a record 116 goals. He won the Ballon d’Or six times. But regrettably, he never won a major title in his career.
