Which player holds the world record for the most career goals scored in international men’s football?

Fact

Did you know?

Cristiano Ronaldo holds the men's record for the number of goals scored for the national team. He surpassed Iranian Ali Daei's old record of 109 goals in 2021 and continued to increase his total with Portugal. As of the date of the audit, UEFA statistics attribute him to 146 international goals. He has scored in qualifiers, European and world finals, friendly matches and the Nations League. As he continues his international career, a number listed without a date quickly becomes obsolete. The anecdote must therefore favor the record and the overtaking of Daei, or explicitly date any numerical total.
