Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang announced his resignation from the Gabon national team, thus putting an end to his international career. The forward, who is the all-time top scorer for the Gabonese national team, made this decision after being suspended from the squad due to poor results achieved at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Through a statement, Aubameyang expressed his dismay, stating that he was "humiliated" by the Gabonese Football Federation. The player did not specify in detail the circumstances that led him to feel humiliated, but the suspension from the national team seems to have been the breaking point in the relationship between the player and the federation.
The suspension reportedly occurred due to the poor performance of the national team during the competition, where the results did not meet expectations. This situation led to the decision by the federation, which ultimately resulted in the permanent departure of the player who represented Gabon for more than a decade.
With this resignation, an important chapter in the history of Gabonese football comes to a close, with Aubameyang leaving behind a legacy of goals and memorable performances in service of his national team.
