Sud América striker Sebastián Abreu has retired after playing for the most clubs in football history, according to ESPN's Adriana Garcia.

Abreu, 44, played for 31 clubs—a Guinness world record—throughout his 26-year career. The Uruguay striker played his last game on Friday as Sud América suffered a 5–0 loss to Liverpool. He played in a total of 851 games and recorded 432 goals in his career.

Known as El Loco, Abreu joined Sud América in March after previously playing for Athletic Club MG in February. He began his career in 1994 with Uruguay's Defensor Sporting and set the record of playing for the most teams in 2017 while playing for Audax Italiano.
