Jon Dahl Tomasson has announced his retirement from international football.

The 33-year-old striker won his 112th and final cap in the group-stage defeat to Japan at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, scoring a late penalty in that 3-1 loss to become Denmark's joint record goalscorer with 52.

"The national team has always had the biggest impact on me in my career. It has been a great honour for me to represent my country," said Tomasson on the Danish Football Federation's official website.

The national team has been a big part of my career for the last 13 years and it is an important chapter in my life that I am now ending.
