Pascal Groß ends national team career after World Cup farewell

In the British stadium of Brighton & Hove Albion, where the guests from London celebrated the 3-0 against FC Arsenal, the 35-year-old Pascal Groß announced on Sky Sport that after 19 caps and a World Cup appearance he is officially leaving the national team.

The announcement was published in the News section, which, alongside transfers, community, gaming, support and premium service, also compiles video content and the latest transfers. On the platform, interested parties can find all news, analyses and market‑value information about Bundesliga players.

Farewell after the World Cup

Pascal Groß stated on Sky Sport that he will retire after the World Cup. The 35‑year‑old midfielder, who recorded two goal involvements as a scorer in the match against the Gunners, saw this as his final chapter with the national team. “For me, that was it after the World Cup,” he emphasized.

Groß made his debut for the German national team only in 2023, thus at a comparatively advanced playing age. Since then he has earned 19 caps and scored one goal, which came in the 2‑1 victory over Greece in June 2024. He featured once in both the 2022 tournament and this year’s World Cup.

Market Value and Future

Pascal Groß’s market value is listed at €2.50 million. In his farewell speech he wished the new generation under coach Jürgen Klopp the best and stressed that it was time to give the young players the lead. This assessment was highlighted in a brief analysis of the player profile.

The former Dortmund player, who was active in the Bundesliga for many years, therefore leaves a gap in the central midfield. His experience and game understanding have been valued over the years in German football.

The announcement regarding the retirement was published as part of the sport‑news portal, which, alongside premium service, also offers video highlights and community discussions. Fans can follow all current news and further analyses there.

Pascal Groß’s farewell marks the end of a short but impactful international career and opens up space for the next generation in German football.
