Gabon/Football: Aubameyang announces his international retirement after feeling 'humiliated and tarnished'

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, captain of the Gabonese national team, announced his international retirement at the age of 37, feeling deeply affected by his exclusion and subsequent reintegration after Gabon's elimination from CAN 2025. He expressed his indignation, stating he felt 'humiliated and tarnished' while playing injured. Gabon was eliminated in the group stage, leading to government criticism and the dissolution of the coaching staff. Aubameyang, the all-time top scorer for the team, has decided to focus on his club career with Deportivo La Corogne.
