Ukraine forward Andriy Voronin has opted to retire from international football to focus on playing for Dynamo Moscow.

The 32-year-old failed to score in Ukraine’s brief Euro 2012 appearance, which saw Oleg Blokhin’s men finish last in Group D despite playing in front of their home fans.

“I am leaving the Ukraine team. I took the decision in advance,” Voronin told Sport.ua.

“I have chosen to focus on a club career because I am not young enough to combine both roles.”

Voronin has scored eight goals in 78 appearances for his country.
