Victor Vandenbroucke steps away from Honduras national team

Victor Vandenbroucke, an 18-year-old defender for the Belgian club Gent, has decided to step away from the Honduras national team for the time being. Despite his Honduran roots and a recent call-up, the player expressed that he did not feel he was in the right place during his initial introduction to the squad.

Vandenbroucke traveled to join the team for four Nations League matches, but he did not see any playing time, spending time either on the bench or in the stands. He stated that his decision is a personal one based on his current career path and feelings, noting, “I have noticed that at this moment I do not feel that this is my place.” He clarified that this is not a permanent rejection of Honduras and may change in the future.
