Record Breaking Women It's the first day of the Women's Olympic Tournament today and the first match is Canada vs New Zealand. I've decided to write about one amazing Canadian football player, Christine Sinclair. Christine retired in 2023 but she definitely left a legacy behind. She holds the record for the most international goals scored by a female or male football player worldwide. What an amazing woman! Her record is 190 goals in 331 appearances. Most international goals in women and men's football Rank Name Country Goals Appearances 1 Christine Sinclair Canada 190 331 2 Abby Wambach USA 184 256 3 Mia Hamm USA 158 276 4 Maysa Jbarah Jordan 137 133 5 Carli Lloyd USA 134 316 6 Kristine Lilly USA 130 354 6 Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal 130 212 7 Birgit Prinz Germany 128 214 8 Alex Morgan USA 123 222 9 Marta Brazil 119 184 10 Julie Fleeting Scotland 116 121

Sherida Spitse is captain of AFC Ajax and the Netherlands national team. She is the most capped footballer in Europe, with 244 appearances and counting, she is also the 8th most capped in international women's football. She played on Saturday in the Netherland's first match of Euro 2025. This will be her 8th international tournament. Mark Parsons, her national team coach from 2021-22 said "Her ability to bring 100 per cent every single day is incredible, to demand 100 per cent from other people too. You need those type of characters, leaders, and that's Sherida."
