The legendary Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez made a sensational statement that shook the football spirit. Regardless of those who officially said goodbye to the national team in the spring of 2024, the 39-year-old forward has closed the door for his grand return to the World Championship in 2026,.

In an interview with El Pais, the star of Inter Miami openly admitted that he could not convince the coaching staff that they would need any help at the upcoming World Cup.

" Close to the World Championship, as the coaching staff understands what you need and how you can help? I will never say “no” to my country as long as I continue to be active on the football field,” Suarez added..

Let's remember that La Celeste football player's last (as expected) match will be a striker on 9 June 2024. There was a home draw (0:0) in the match against Paraguay, after which we emotionally said goodbye to the patients and international football.

Prote, most important for a football player in his century, El Pistolero continues to demonstrate a high level of performance. Last season (2025), he proved his importance on the field, having played 50 matches for Inter Miami, which included 17 goals and 17 assists.

In the current MLS campaign, Suarez has appeared on the field six times, running shoulder-to-shoulder with his rich friend Lionel Messi.

Luis Suarez is losing one of the most important figures of Uruguay's golden generation. He took part in four World Championships and won the 2011 America's Cup.
