List Of Men's Footballers With 100 Or More International Caps
In men's association football, a cap is traditionally awarded in international football to a player making an official match appearance for their national team. In total, over 600 players have played in 100 or more international matches. The record is held jointly by Bader Al-Mutawa of Kuwait and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, who both made their 196th appearance in 2022. The record was previously held by Soh Chin Ann of Malaysia, with 195 of his 222 appearances being ratified as official. The discrepancy is due to FIFA, the international football governing body, not recognising matches such as those within the Olympic Games and those not categorised as 'A' matches. The first men's footballer to play in 100 international matches was Billy Wright of England in 1959, finishing with 105 caps. Caps : Players that are still active with their national teams are highlighted in bold. : This list is sorted by FIFA's recognition of international caps, discounting appearances in ...
