Message from Alexandre Oukidja
It is with great emotion that I announce that I am retiring from international football at the age of 35. Here, in a football career, you also have to know when to stop. If I stop the selection today, it’s not that I want to stop, it’s mainly for my health,” admitted the Messin, who has played 34 Ligue 2 games this season. Under contract until 2025 with Metz, he will undoubtedly experience a ninth season in Ligue 1 in his career.
