On May 24, Beijing time, Giroux announced that he would withdraw from the French national team after this year's European Cup in an interview with L'Equipe.
Giroux, 37 years old, made his national team debut on November 11, 2011. So far, he has made 131 appearances and scored 57 goals. He is the historical top scorer of the French team. He has also made 16 assists, helping the Gallic Roosters win the 2018 World Cup championship and the 2021 European League of Nations championship.
After the end of this season, Giroux has decided to leave AC Milan, the five major leagues in Europe and play in the United States. He also announced that the European Cup is his last national team event and will quit the national team after the end.
Giroux said: "When you make such a choice (joining the AFC), it is also to enjoy life with your family more. We don't have much time to accompany our family. To be honest, this will be my last tournament in the French team, and we must make way for young people."
