The Uruguayan striker returns home after a successful career in Europe.
Luis Suarez has joined Uruguayan side Nacional ahead of the next season.
The former Barcelona star confirmed his decision by publishing a video on Tuesday. The club have now officially announced the 35-year-old as their new player, who joins them as a free agent.
Speaking in a video posted on his Twitter account, Suarez said: “It has been very exciting, all the videos and messages that have reached us and touched our hearts about this situation.
“It was impossible to reject this possibility of playing again with Nacional.
“I hope to enjoy this new stage and see you in the coming days. I send a big hug to all of you and thank you for all the love you have given us. See you soon.”
Suarez started his senior career at Nacional in 2005, before a move to Dutch side Groningen changed the course of his career.
After spending 16 years in Europe, Suarez is now back at the club where he earned his first national team call-up. The former Liverpool star is planning to feature for Uruguay in their upcoming World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Suarez had reportedly received a few offers from Major League Soccer (MLS). However, he eventually decided to prepare for the World Cup in familiar territory.
