Bance has been a mainstay of the Burkinabe national team for the best part of 17 years, having made his debut for the Stallions in 2003.
Bance has enjoyed a nomadic career, with current Guinean club Horoya the 22nd side he has represented.
Some of his former clubs include German Bundesliga sides Augsburg and Mainz 05, ASEC Mimosas, HJK Helsinki, Lokeren and Al-Ahli Dubai.
Bance represented Burkina Faso 79 times, scoring 24 goals and took part in three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, including the 2013 edition in South Africa where he was a silver medalist.
“I had the honour of being received by His Excellency Mr. Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, President of Faso,” Bance wrote on his Facebook page.
“As the captain of the national stallion team, I wanted to show him my gratitude for all he does for Burkinabe football.
“I also took advantage of these moments to officially announce to him my intention to end my international career, the end of my adventure with the Burkina stallions and definitively give him my lucky number “15”.
“It was a pride for me to wear the colours of the national team. We had rough and good times. We shook together two beautiful African Cup of Nations crowned with a silver (2013) and a bronze (2017). These moments will forever be the best of my life.”
