Giroud (name)
In an interview with L'Equipe, he confirmed that he will quit the French national team after Euro 2024.
Giroud said in the interview, "When you make a choice like this (to join the USL), it's also about being able to enjoy life with your family more. We live at 200 miles per hour and don't have a lot of time for our family. Honestly, this is going to be my first time in
French team
of the last tournament. Obviously I will miss it, but I think my career with France will end after the Euros and we have to make way for the youngsters."
