144 A-international matches and 67 goals – but now Alexandra Popp sees the end of her time in Germany's national team.

I've always said that my gut feeling would make this decision, and now it has, she says.

After long, tear-filled deliberations, I have made the difficult decision to end my national team career with a heavy heart.

The 33-year-old will play her last match on October 28 in Duisburg, when Germany faces Australia in a friendly match.

Popp, whose contract with Wolfsburg extends over next season, was part of the 2016 Olympic gold team, took bronze in Paris last summer, and silver in the 2022 European Championship.
