Marta Cox has retired from the Panama national team. The reason: a wild insult to the association president.

Cox made national football history just a year ago with her goal against France. The head of the national association called 26-year-old Cox "fat" to local media after she criticized the country's sporting infrastructure. FEPAFUT has since published a public letter of apology to the player and the national team's fans. The incident will not be repeated, the association said.
