End of an era: Alexandra Popp announces Germany retirement
Briefly

The fire that was kindled in me 18 years ago and grew stronger from year to year has now almost burned out. Neither my body, which is a ticking time bomb, nor anyone else should get ahead of me. Before the fire is completely extinguished - because then it would be too late - now is the right time.
It is never easy for a star athlete to call it quits, but Popp has an illustrious international career to look back on - 67 goals, an Olympic gold medal in 2016, and a runner's-up finish at the 2022 Women's EUROs.
