In a December 2022 piece from the Associated Press titled “Nobody disputes Pelé’s greatness but goal count fuels debate,” the article acknowledged Pelé as a football legend and the only player to win three World Cups.

The debate centres around his official goal count, which some sources claim to be over 1,000 goals, including both official matches and friendlies.

 

However, FIFA’s official tally places his competitive goals at a lower count, sparking ongoing discussions about the criteria for counting goals in football and Pelé’s place in the pantheon of the sport’s greatest players.

Despite the debates over his total number of goals, there is unanimous agreement on his profound impact on football and his legendary status in the sport’s history.

The piece read partly, “Many of his goals came at a time when it wasn’t as easy to register match statistics, and not all of them were caught on tape. There is also a discrepancy in the total number of matches he played.

“According to Pelé, he was the all-time leading scorer in the history of the sport with 1,283 goals in 1,366 matches. That would be an extraordinary 0.93 goals per game.

“If only goals in official matches are tallied, Pelé ’s mark was considerably lower no matter the source, standing at fewer than 800 goals. That would leave him behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Romário, and Josef Bican, who played before Pelé’s time.”

Record scorers

According to TalkSport, Ronaldo has scored 900 goals in 1,236 games since his professional career began in 2001, making him the top scorer in football history.

His closest rival, Lionel Messi, has netted 838 goals in 1,069 games since 2003.

Josef Bican, who played from 1931 to 1956, scored over 805 goals in more than 530 games, while Romario, active between 1985 and 2007, recorded 772 goals in 994 matches.

These players represent the pinnacle of goal-scoring achievements across football history.
