Rabat – Jordi Alba has informed the Spanish federation and head coach Luis De La Fuente of his decision to put an end to his international career with the Spanish selection.
Jordi Alba reportedly explained to La Fuente and the Spanish Football Federation officials that after leaving for Inter Miami, he would stop going to Spain.
The left-back appeared in 93 games where he scored 9 goals and won the 2012 Euro and the Nations League in 2023. In addition, Alba played at three FIFA World Cups (2014, 2018, and 2022), three UEFA European Championships (2012, 2016 and 2020), the 2013 Confederations, and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Jordi Alba knew that becoming a player of Inter Miami would interfere with his national team duties for two main reasons.
The first is the long trips between Spain and Miami. The second — and perhaps most important — reason is that the American Major Soccer League continues during the FIFA days or international break.
At the latest World Cup in Qatar last year, Jordi Alba was part of the Spanish national team that was eliminated by Morocco’s Atlas Lions in the round of 16.
