Suárez, his country’s all-time leading scorer with 69 goals, will play his last international match on Friday night when La Celeste host Paraguay in FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Inter Miami CF’s superstar striker announced his retirement during an emotional press conference on Monday.
“Friday, it’s hard to even say it, will be my last game with my country’s national team,” Suárez said as he fought back tears. “But it’s something that I’d been thinking about, analyzing. I think it’s the right moment because I have my reasons.
“… I’ll play with the same hopes I had in my first game in 2007, with the same enthusiasm and the same hopes of that 19-year-old kid. And this old, veteran player with this incredible national team career will give his life on Friday. Why? Because that’s how I was taught from the beginning, to give everything for my country.”
