Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper of the Belgian national football team, has announced his intention to take a one-year break from his career with the team.
According to Idman.Biz, this decision came after the team's 1:2 loss to Spain in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper was substituted in the 71st minute due to an injury.
Courtois is reportedly planning to take a break from his appearances for a year, rather than leaving the national team altogether. The Belgian team, meanwhile, has bid farewell to the World Cup after their loss to Spain.
