Brazil legend Marta was shown a straight red card in the Paris 2024 Olympics, potentially marking her final major tournament. She aimed to retire from international football this year with 119 goals.
Described as inconsolable after the challenge, Marta's dismissal affected Brazil's chances in the tournament. Even if Brazil advances to the quarterfinals, Marta would be suspended for the match.
Marta confirmed retirement after a 24-year career, hinting at a return for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. Former teammates returned from retirement, leaving the possibility open for Marta.
Despite her illustrious career, Marta has not won an Olympic or Women's World Cup, settling for silver medals in 2004 and 2008 with Brazil.
