Uruguay legend Luis Suarez has announced his retirement from international football, following Friday's 2026 World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in Montevideo. Suarez, a former Barcelona and Liverpool striker, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation and will retire as Uruguay's top scorer with 69 goals from 142 appearances. He made his debut for Uruguay in 2007 and helped the country capture the 2011 Copa America, where he was named player of the tournament. Suarez was infamously kicked out of the 2014 World Cup after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. He also faced controversy in the 2010 World Cup and an eight-game ban for allegedly racially abusing Manchester United's France star Patrice Evra.
