Star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, captain of the Gabon national team, announced his retirement from international football following his team's elimination from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. He accused the government and media outlets of damaging his reputation and objectifying him, despite his prominent background as the team's all-time top scorer with 40 goals in 83 matches. The decision to retire came after criticism and turmoil following disappointing performances in the tournament, during which he faced backlash after being left out of the squad and then reinstated, leading to widespread discontent among fans. Aubameyang had previously retired from international duty in 2022 before returning, and it is now widely considered that this may be his final departure from representing his country.
