Olivier Giroud, France's all-time top scorer with 57 goals in 131 appearances, has announced his retirement from international football after Euro 2024. The 36-year-old striker, who was part of the 2018 World Cup-winning team, expressed his intention to step aside for younger players. Giroud will continue his club career with LAFC, starting from July. He stated, 'I’ve always said that I was going to stop when my body asked me to. I think I’ve got two good years left. But as far as the French team is concerned, I think that’ll be the end of it.' John Thorrington, LAFC's co-president and general manager, commented on the signing. Giroud also shared his thoughts with L’Équipe.
