Brazil forward Marta Vieira da Silva said it feels "surreal" to be preparing for a sixth Women's World Cup and that the tournament in Australia and New Zealand will be her last.
The 37-year-old made her World Cup debut in 2003 and is Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 117 goals. She has won the Copa America three times but is yet to lift the World Cup. Brazil's best result at the global soccer showpiece was runner-up to Germany in 2007.
“Yes, it will be my last World Cup,” she told local media in Brasilia on July 3. “We have to understand that a time comes for us to prioritise other things.”
