Sweden's
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced that he will retire from international duty
after Euro 2016. Eyebrows were
raised when the 34-year-old striker was named in Sweden's provisional 35-man
squad for the Olympic Games this summer,
and it had been thought that the soon-to-be free agent would take part in
Brazil.
However,
Ibrahimovic has revealed that he will not be in action at the Olympics and will
indeed hang up his international
boots when
Sweden's Euro 2016 campaign comes to an end.
"The
last game of the Euros will be my last game with Sweden. I will not participate
in the Olympics. So my final game of
the Euros
will be my last. So let's hope it goes as long as possible. I hope that
tomorrow will not be my last game. But I
don't have
any regrets," Ibrahimovic, whose club future is still undecided, told
reporters.
"There
is no disappointment. I'm very proud to be the captain of Sweden. I want to
take this moment to thank the fans for
always
supporting me wherever I go, I will always carry the Sweden flag with me and
stand with it."
