Birgit Prinz é a jogadora alemã com mais internacionalizações
Forward Birgit Prinz of Germany, a two-time World Cup winner and three-time World Footballer of the Year, said on Friday she is ending her playing career with immediate effect.
Prinz, 33, made the announcement at a news conference a month after retiring from the national team.
'Football is one of my biggest passions. It was very difficult to end this chapter,' she said.
The FFC Frankfurt player Prinz said it was no hasty decision in the wake of the home World Cup, in which she was no longer fielded as a starter. Germany went out in the quarter-finals against the later champions Japan.
Prinz is Germany's record-capped woman with 214 games 1994-2011, in which she scored 128 goals. She won the World Cup 2003 and 2007, five European championships, was women's World Footballer 2003-2005 and a three-time Olympic bronze medallist.
She also won nine women's Bundesliga titles and 10 German cups with the Frankfurt club.
