Juan Quintero, former FC Porto midfielder, announced his farewell from Colombia's national team at the age of 33. The player made the announcement through his social media, putting an end to an international career that lasted several years.

Quintero became known in Portugal for the years he spent at FC Porto, where he stood out as a midfielder and won titles with the Porto club. His stint in European football allowed him to grow as a player before returning to the American continent.

Quintero's farewell represents the end of an era for the Colombian national team, which thus loses a player with vast international experience. The 33-year-old player closes this chapter of his career leaving a significant legacy in Colombian football.
