Aubameyang ‘humiliated’ as ex-Arsenal striker quits Gabon national team

Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang announced his retirement from the national team, feeling 'humiliated' by his exclusion and subsequent reinstatement after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Gabonese government blamed him for the team's failure, which was eliminated in the group stage. Aubameyang, who played injured, stated that this was the last straw for him. The new national team coach, Sebastien Migne, will now have to plan without him for the upcoming qualifiers.
