Mary Earps has announced her retirement from international football, a surprising decision made just 36 days before the 2025 European Championship. In her statement, Earps expressed pride in representing England and emphasized the importance of allowing a new generation of players to rise. Despite hopes from England's manager Sarina Wiegman for Earps to participate in the upcoming tournament, she felt it was the right time to step aside. Earps has made significant contributions to English football, winning accolades and captaining her country with distinction, including winning the Euros in 2022.
"I have taken the difficult decision to retire internationally, Earps said in a statement released by the Football Association. It has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life, to wear this badge, represent my country and play alongside such an incredible group of players."
"Winning the Euros in 2022 was the best day of my life, and I'm rooting for the girls to do it again this summer."
"Mary has made a huge contribution to not only the team, but the whole of English football. We will cherish those memories and of course give Mary the tributes she deserves after the summer."
