Maisfutebol15 September 2026 at 20:02

James Rodríguez announced his farewell from Colombia's national team, stating that the time has come to step away from the national team. The player, who represented FC Porto in the past, considered that his international career has come to an end.

In his farewell message, James Rodríguez stated that representing Colombia was a dream fulfilled. The midfielder expressed his gratitude to the country and the fans for the support received over the years.

James Rodríguez was one of the most important figures in Colombian football in recent decades, having shone at various European clubs, including FC Porto, where he stood out before transferring to Real Madrid in 2014.

The decision to leave the national team comes after a successful international career, in which the player participated in several World Cups and continental competitions, becoming one of the most internationally recognized Colombian footballers.

Why this matters

This announcement marks the end of an era for the Colombian national team, which loses one of its most iconic and talented players. For Colombian and Portuguese readers (given the player's past at FC Porto), it represents the closing of a memorable international career, including participation in two World Cups and winning the Golden Ball at the 2014 World Cup.
