The former Barcelona and Liverpool striker is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation and will retire from international football as Uruguay’s top scorer with 69 goals from 142 appearances.
Suarez, who was infamously kicked out of the 2014 World Cup after being handed a four-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, made his debut for Uruguay in 2007.
The Inter Miami forward helped Uruguay capture the 2011 Copa America, where he was named Player of the Tournament, and would eventually represent the South American country in nine major tournaments.
Suarez said Monday that inspiring Uruguay to that Copa crown had been the high point of his career.
“I wouldn’t trade the Copa America title for anything. It was the best moment of my career. I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” he said.
