Giroux was interviewed by L'Equipe and confirmed that he would withdraw from the French national team after the European Cup.
Giroux: "When you make such a choice (joining the AFC), it is also for you to enjoy life more with your family. Our life speed is 200 miles per hour, and we don't have much time to accompany our family. To be honest, this will be my last tournament in the French team. Obviously I will miss it, but I think my French career will end after the European Cup, and we must make way for the young people
Giroux, 37 years old, made his national team debut against the United States on November 11, 2011. He is the historical top scorer of the French team. Up to now, he has played 131 games for the French team, scored 57 goals and assisted 16 times, helping the French team win the 2018 World Cup championship and the 2021 European League championship.
