the captain of the world champion team canceled the national team

Captain Hugo Lloris will no longer play for the France national football team.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper announced his decision in sports newspaper L’Équipe on Monday.

Lloris, who holds the international record with 145 caps, made his debut for the French national team in 2008, with which he became world champion in 2018, and in the final of the last World Cup in Qatar he lost to Argentina on penalties. With the goalkeeper, the national team won the silver medal at the 2016 European Championship and won the 2020/21 Nations League competition.
