The 37-year-old center back Jan Vertonghen announced the end of his international career. His last match for the Red Devils was in the 1/8 finals of Euro 2024 against France (0: 1). Ironically, it was Vertonghen's goal that took France to the next round.
During his career with the Belgian national team, Vertonghen played 157 matches, setting a record in the country's history.
