Cesc Fàbregas Bids Farewell to International FootballCesc Fàbregas Bids Farewell to International Football Spanish maestro Cesc Fàbregas has announced his retirement from international football after a glittering 15-year career with the La Roja. The news came as a surprise to many, as Fàbregas had previously hinted at continuing his role with the national team. However, the 35-year-old midfielder cited his desire to focus on his family and club career with AS Monaco as the primary reason for his decision. “It has been an honor and a privilege to represent my country for so many years,” Fàbregas said in a statement released by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). “I am proud of the memories and experiences I have shared with my teammates and the fans.” Fàbregas made his international debut in 2006 as a precocious 18-year-old and quickly became a mainstay in the Spanish midfield. He was a key member of the legendary team that won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2008 and 2012 UEFA European Championships. The midfielder’s technical brilliance, passing range, and vision made him one of the most respected players in the world. He earned 110 caps for Spain, scoring 15 goals. “Cesc is a true legend of Spanish football,” said Luis Rubiales, president of the RFEF. “His contributions to the national team have been immense, and we thank him for everything he has given us.” Fàbregas’s retirement leaves a void in the Spanish midfield. However, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of players. He will be remembered as one of the finest midfielders of his era and a symbol of Spain’s golden age of international football.
