Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer Marta said she has likely played her last game for her country.
The 38-year-old announced in April that she plans to retire from international football this year, but there had been speculation she might play on until the 2027 World Cup, hosted by Brazil.
Orlando Pride forward Marta said Saturday's 1-0 defeat by the United States in the Paris 2024 gold medal match was her last "in the Olympics and probably in official competition".
"I don't think you will see me again at the World Cup," she added.
Marta leaves with three Olympic silver medals after three defeats by the USA in 2004, 2008 and 2024.
She has never won a major international trophy with Brazil, but goes down as "the best in history" according to Brazil boss Arthur Elias.
"We are all very proud of our national team and our number 10, our queen, Marta," he added.
