The 38-year-old Marta has told CNN Brasil that she hopes to play in the Olympics in Paris but said that would be her last major tournament for the national team.
바카라This is my last year, I can confirm it here,바카라 she was quoted as saying in excerpts of an interview that will air Sunday. 바카라There is a moment when we have to understand that the time has come. And I바카라m really fine with this, because I바카라m optimistic with the development that we are seeing in relation to our young athletes.바카라
In the excerpts, the Orlando Pride playmaker did not say whether she plans to continue her club career in 2025.
Marta said she wants to play at the Paris Games for what would be her sixth Olympic appearance. She helped Brazil win silver medals in 2004 and 2008.
바카라If I go to the Olympics, I will enjoy every moment, because regardless of whether I go or not, this is my last year with the national team,바카라 she said. 바카라There is no longer Marta in the national team as an athlete in 2025.바카라
Marta also helped Brazil win two Pan American Games (2003 and 2007) and three Copa Americas (2003, 2010 and 2018).
She is Brazil바카라s leading scorer in the women바카라s game, and the women바카라s World Cup top scorer with 17 goals. However, a World Cup gold eluded her, with Brazil losing the 2007 final to Germany in China.
