Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat has officially announced his retirement from international football with Zimbabwe.
Khama Billiat’s decade-long spell with the Zimbabwe national football team has come to an end after the 31-year-old officially announced his retirement from international football on Monday.
The Kaizer Chiefs star featured for the Warriors during their failed 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign and was expected to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.
However, Zimbabwe will have to make do without their talisman, who boasts more than 50 caps to his name, after he penned an emotional farewell to the international scene which was shared across his social media accounts.
“It was all a dream. When I was young, I always dreamt of representing the country, playing for the national team,” Billiat said in a statement on Monday. “The dream which seemed far-fetched for a young Khama in Mufakose came when I least expected it.
“The first day I donned the Warriors badge, I vowed to enjoy myself and always lift the country’s spirits. Scoring a goal at the Africa Cup of Nations finals is one moment I still relive in my mind even up to date.
“It is one of the special moments I have experienced wearing the coveted yellow jersey. The feeling of scoring in a packed stadium for your nation is inexplicable.
