In a letter to the Gabonese FA, Aubameyang wrote, according to Mundo Deportivo: “After 13 [thirteen] years of pride in representing my country, I announce that I’m ending my international career.
“I would like to thank the Gabonese people and all those who have supported me in the good and the bad times.
“Sharing it with all the people was an unforgettable moment. I thank our President, his Excellency Ali Bongo Ondimba who has always supported the Panthers and has always worked for football to evolve in our country.
“I would also like to thank all my coaches, staff and the players that I have come across during this career.
Finally, I thank my father who gave me the desire to do like him, hoping to have made him proud by wearing our colours.”
The former Arsenal captain represented his nation for over ten years and also wore the captain’s armband
He appeared 72 times for Gabon, and scored 30 goals.

Retiring from international duties at just 32?? See why I will forever respect Ronaldo and Messi..Those two will play internationally until they are 40.. then retire from football like 43..
ReplyDeleteIt is really a privileged that our generation was blessed with gods in football
I love these two but I believe everyone is different especially when their health is involved. CR7 and Messi are blessed.
Deleteyou think he's really 32? I think he's older than that, most of our African footballers don't use their real age that's why you see them resigning early at 30,32 etc
DeleteYou have not read about people abroad retiring at 40 to pursue other dreams they have? We in Nig. blv ppl should work all the days of their life and retire at old age. Infact, some ppl have to be practically forced into retirement. Why? Because most ppl here don’t plan well for retirement, so they feel they have nothing to do after work years.
