Czechia: Patrik Schick ends his international career

Czech striker Patrik Schick has announced the end of his international career at the age of 30. This decision marks the conclusion of a journey that began in 2016 with the Czech Republic's national team.

Patrik Schick is calling time on his professional international career. He made the announcement on Thursday, June 25, 2026, following Czechia’s elimination from the World Cup. In a message to the public, Schick said he is "proud of what he accomplished in the national jersey," while also expressing his belief that Czech football has even greater potential than has been shown in recent years.

Patrik Schick leaves behind a collection of memorable moments with the national team, including appearances at major international tournaments and crucial goals that cemented his reputation as a key attacking presence.

This announcement comes as the Czech Republic takes stock after a disappointing international campaign, opening a new chapter for the squad as it looks to rebuild its attacking line.

The player will continue his club career in Germany, where he remains under contract and continues to perform at the highest level in European football.
