List of top international men's football goal scorers by country

Summary

This article lists the top all-time goalscorer for each men's national football team. This list is not an all-time top international goalscorers list, as several countries have two or more players with more goals than another country's top scorer. It simply lists only the top scorer for each country.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal is the all-time leading goalscorer for men's national teams.

List of top scorers edit

Players in bold are still active at international level.
Players in italics also hold the record for most caps for their nation.
Rank is a count of the 211 FIFA nations. Thirteen nations (Aruba, Bulgaria, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Lesotho, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Scotland, Suriname, United States and U.S. Virgin Islands) have a pair of players tied for national leader. Anguilla, Eritrea and Nepal have three players tied as their leading scorer. These are all counted as one nation each.

  3. ^ Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the team's records were inherited by Russia.

  5. ^ Weah retired internationally in 2002, but played a testimonial against Nigeria in 2018.
  6. ^ Gunemba scored against Vanuatu B however this was not against a full international 'A' side and therefore is not included on this list.
  7. ^ Ramoon also scored at least 1 goal for the Cayman Islands prior to their acceptance as full CONCACAF members in 1990.
