From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Top international goal scorers)

This page lists the top all-time male goal scorer for each national football team where the top scorer has a minimum 19 goals in official international matches for his country. Players who are currently active at international level are indicated in bold type.

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.
