Former Bayern Munich and Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri announced his retirement from international football on Monday, having amassed 125 caps for Switzerland.
Shaqiri has scored 32 goals for the national team and is the only Swiss player to appear in seven major tournaments, from World Cup 2010 to Euro 2024.
The 32-year-old made two appearances in Euro 2024 as Switzerland exited the tournament after losing on penalties to England in the quarterfinals.
“Seven tournaments, many goals, 14 years with the Swiss national team and unforgettable moments. It’s time to say goodbye to the national team,” Shaqiri wrote on Instagram. “Great memories remain and I say to you all, thank you.”
Shaqiri, who won the Swiss and German leagues three times each at FC Basel and Bayern as well as the Premier League at Liverpool, has played for MLS side Chicago Fire since 2022.
