Top international goal scorers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into List of football (soccer) players with 30 or more international goals. (Discuss)

This page lists the top all-time male goal scorer for each national football team where the top scorer has a minimum 19 goals for his country.

This list is not an all-time top international goal scorers list, as some country's second top scorer could have scored more than another country's top scorer. It only lists the top scorer for each country. Note also that the all-time top women's scorer, Mia Hamm, retired from the USA women's team in 2004 with 158 goals.

The data are accurate as of 16th November 2005.
