Last match included: Brazil-Argentina, 21 Nov 2023
NB: the match Kuwait Sports Club-Brazil (0-4, 7-10-2006) is
not included as it did not involve the Kuwaiti national
team but a club side with several non-Kuwaiti and guest
players and so was not a full A-international.

NB: in January 2001 (!), FIFA decided not to recognize matches against FIFA or continental selections as full internationals, classifying them as exhibition games, and scratched all caps and goals earned in these matches from the records. After the French and Italian FAs refused to follow this ruling, the Brazilian FA eventually decided to keep the match on November 6, 1968 vs FIFA (Brazil won 2-1) in the records as well, which is reflected in the above ranking; affected players would be: Pel�, Rivelino (1 goal), Jairzinho, G�rson, Paulo C�sar, Tostão (1 goal) and Carlos Alberto.
