Arsenalās Christian Norgaard has confirmed on Instagram that heās retiring from international football, deciding to focus on his family.
āI have decided to retire from the national team,ā Norgaard wrote. āOn the one hand, it has been a difficult decision, because thereās practically nothing I love more than checking in with teammates and staff at Marienlyst.
āAnd thereās practically nothing I love more than playing games in red and white in a sold-out, buzzing with anticipation Parken.
āOn the other hand, it has been an easy decision because I would like to have more time with my family, and with the missed World Cup qualification it also feels natural now to make room for the talented and exciting talents, fortunately Denmark is still rich in.
āNow itās finished. Iām looking forward to backing up as a fan, but no longer as a part of the squad. Thank you players, staff and fans for helping make a boyās dream come true.ā

As mentioned, Denmark missed out on qualifying for the World Cup at the final hurdle, defeating North Macedonia 4-0 in their play-off semi-final and playing out a 2-2 draw over 120 minutes in the final, only to lose 3-1 on penalties.
It was a heartbreaking way to miss out, and Norgaard never got the chance to take a penalty in the shootout. It was over after just four kicks each.
But with Norgaard now 32 years old, with 41 caps to his name, and no World Cup this summer, perhaps it is a good time to allow the country to move on to the next generation.

As a result, Norgaard wonāt be involved in Denmarkās international break in June, with a friendly against DR Congo on the schedule. Instead, heāll begin his summer holidays after Arsenalās Champions League final on May 30th.
