Yann Sommer, the Swiss international goalkeeper, has officially announced his retirement from the national team where he began his journey in 2012.
His decision to retire marks the end of a remarkable football career characterized by outstanding performances and unwavering commitment.
In a statement released on Monday by the Swiss Football Association website, Sommer expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to represent his country at the highest level for over twelve years and in 94 international matches.
Sommer emphasized that the recent European Championship held in Germany, where he had previously played in the Bundesliga, served as a fitting end to his international career.
Renowned for his agility, strong presence, and leadership qualities on the field, Sommer has been a key figure for both his national team and club sides.
With his retirement, Swiss football bids farewell to a significant contributor and celebrates Sommer’s enduring legacy in the sport.
At 35 years old, Sommer leaves as the most capped goalkeeper in Swiss national team history and will now focus on his club career with Inter Milan, as confirmed by the ASF.
