Brazilian Soccer Star Marta Announces Retirement from International Soccer: A Look Back at Her Impressive Career and Future of Women’s Soccer

Brazilian soccer star Marta, who currently plays for Orlando Pride, has announced her retirement from international soccer this year. At 38 years old, Marta holds the record for Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer, male or female, with an impressive 115 goals and has participated in six World Cup tournaments.

Marta expressed her feelings about retiring in an interview with CNN Brasil, stating that this year will mark her last with the national team and beyond 2025, there will be no more Marta in the national team. However, she seems at peace with this decision and optimistic about the future of Brazilian women’s soccer and the young athletes in the team. She highlighted the positive developments and talent among the younger generation of athletes.

Throughout her career, Marta has received numerous accolades, including winning the FIFA Player of the Year award an unprecedented six times. She also boasts a collection of titles such as the Women’s Champions League, the Copa Libertadores Femenina, and has been awarded the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the 2007 Women’s World Cup. A notable achievement is her record of scoring at five World Cups, with 17 goals in total, which is the highest across men’s and women’s soccer.

Despite her illustrious career, one area where Marta fell short was winning major global titles with the Brazilian national team. She came close three times, losing in the 2007 Women’s World Cup final and two Olympic gold medal matches. The upcoming Paris Olympics could potentially be her final chance to achieve this milestone.
