00:00In a stunning announcement, England's star goalkeeper Mary Earps has retired from international
00:04football just weeks before Euro 2025. Earps, 32, earned 53 caps for the Lionesses, becoming a fan
00:13favorite and a vital part of England's golden generation. She played a pivotal role in England's
00:19historic Euro 2022 victory, the country's first major women's title. And just a year later,
00:25she helped take the Lionesses all the way to the World Cup final in Australia.
00:31But now Earps says the time is right to walk away. It has been the greatest honor of my life to
00:36represent my country, she wrote. I've thought about this deeply and I believe now is the time
00:40to step aside. Her decision comes after she lost her starting spot to rising star Hannah Hampton
00:46in recent call-ups. Manager Serena Wiegman had hoped to include her in the Euro 2025 squad,
00:53but Earps stood firm on her decision, signaling a changing of the guard in England's goalkeeping
00:58ranks. The Lionesses kick off their Euro 2025 campaign in Switzerland in just 36 days.
01:05But they'll do so without one of their most iconic players. Known for her commanding presence and
01:11world-class reflexes, Earps will leave behind a legacy that inspired a generation of young keepers.
01:17Mary Earps retires as a European champion, World Cup finalist, and one of the most respected voices in
01:24the game. For more updates on the Lionesses and Euro 2025, don't forget to subscribe to News Plus
