Brazil’s record scorer Marta ends her team career

Brazil's record goalscorer Marta will end her international career this year. In an interview with CNN on Thursday, the 38-year-old striker explained that she wants to compete at the Summer Olympics in Paris. It would be Marta's sixth appearance at the Olympics. She has scored no fewer than 116 goals for Brazil in 175 international matches to date.

"Regardless of whether I'm at the Olympics or not, it's my last year in the national team," said Marta.

She has played for Orlando Pride in the US women's league for seven years. The Brazilian has been crowned world soccer player of the year six times. However, she never won a World Cup title with the "Seleção".
