CNN —Brazil and Orlando Pride star Marta will retire from international soccer this year, she told CNN Brasil in an interview which will air on Sunday, April 28.
The 38-year-old is Brazil’s all-time record goalscorer, male or female, with 115 goals and has appeared in six World Cup tournaments.
If selected for the Brazilian squad at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Marta could make her sixth appearance at the Games.
There is no longer Marta in the national team as an athlete from 2025 onwards,” Marta told CNN Brasil.
Three times Marta has come agonizingly close to glory with Brazil, losing the 2007 Women’s World Cup final to Germany and twice suffering defeat in the Olympic gold medal match.
