The France national team's Olivier Giroud declared his retirement from football after the Roosters lost in the semifinals of the Euro 2024 competition. Since making his debut for his nation in 2011, Giroud has been an integral member of the blue team, making him the oldest player on the French national team at the moment. Giroud played very little at Euro 2024; his final game was an 11-minute cameo against Spain in the semifinal, a match that France lost 2-1. The 37-year-old, who knew he was a crucial component of the historic feat of winning the 2018 World Cup, was happy with his historic career with France and made the decision to terminate it at this time.
