Fran Kirby has announced her retirement from the England national football team after an impressive career, featuring in 77 matches and scoring 19 goals. Her standout achievement was contributing to the victory at Euro 2022, where she played a crucial role in the final match. Kirby expressed how the support from fans during the tournament, especially on home soil, created a unique and motivational atmosphere for the players. As she steps away from international play, she reminisces about the love and excitement surrounding the Lionesses' journey.
“It was really special, such an incredible moment, Kirby recalls to FourFourTwo. For me, it was seeing the journey, seeing how people got behind us...”
“Having it in this country definitely helped we did what we could on the pitch, but having the tournament in our own country was one of the massive factors in us winning that tournament.”
