Players with a Century of Caps
Players with 95-99 Caps
Players marked with * are still active at club level, though not necessarily internationally.
Notes:
- Abdullah was earlier reported as having 147 caps, but investigations of IFFHS discovered 4 matches which were not played and 1 against an Irish League XI; 2 more matches were deleted from the records following FIFA's decision not to recognize Olympic matches (see below); one more involved non-FIFA members Northern Cyprus.
- Kirsten played 49 matches for East Germany and 51 for (unified) Germany.
- several players had Olympic matches deleted from their records.
- several players had matches against FIFA or continental representations deducted - or not, see below. Zoff's total also includes a match against a US select team comprising mainly of aging foreigners which the Italian FA insist is official.
- Onopko played 4 matches for the C.I.S. and 109 for Russia.
- Mikhailov has played 102 matches according to the Bulgarian federation, but so far only 97 were verified; even that total includes one match against an East German Olympic team.
- Kristinsson has played 104 matches according to the Icelandic federation, which however includes 4 matches (three Olympic qualifiers and a match against England B) not considered official according to FIFA practice; his official total of internationals should therefore be considered to be 100.
- Bozsik had a match vs Lebanon played in 1956 recognised as official by the Hungarian FA in May 2002 (!).
