The FIFA World Cup has produced over 2,700 goals since 1930. Only a handful of nations have built up the consistency and longevity to cross the 100-goal mark.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues through its group stage, the list now stands at eight countries, with the Netherlands becoming the newest addition this week.
Here is the full, updated list of every nation with 100 or more World Cup goals, ranked from lowest to highest.

Figures are accurate as of June 21, 2026. Since the 2026 World Cup is still in the group stage, these totals will rise further before the tournament ends.
8. Netherlands – 103 Goals
The Netherlands holds a unique spot on this list. They are the only team to score 100 World Cup goals without ever winning the trophy. The Dutch crossed the milestone during the 2026 tournament, beating Sweden 5-1 with Brian Brobbey among the scorers. Despite reaching three World Cup finals, the trophy has stayed out of reach for this generation-spanning footballing nation.
7. England – 108 Goals
England joined the 100-goal club at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Marcus Rashford’s goal against Wales in the group stage pushed the Three Lions past the mark. England remain one win away from their second World Cup title since 1966, and Harry Kane continues to add to their tally in the 2026 edition.
6. Spain – 108 Goals
Spain reached 100 World Cup goals in 2022 thanks to a 7-0 win over Costa Rica, with Dani Olmo scoring the milestone goal. La Roja have appeared in 17 World Cups and lifted the trophy once, in 2010. Notably, Spain remains the only European nation to win a World Cup hosted outside Europe.
5. Italy – 128 Goals
Italy shares the record for most European World Cup titles, with four trophies to its name. The Azzurri have featured in 18 of the 23 tournaments held so far and reached the final on six occasions. Their most recent title came in 2006, but the team has struggled since, failing to qualify for both the 2018 and 2026 World Cups.
4. France – 136 Goals
France has lifted the World Cup twice, in 1998 and 2018, and has built a reputation for producing prolific forwards across generations. Kylian Mbappe has continued that tradition into the 2026 tournament, already closing in on France’s all-time World Cup scoring record. Les Bleus have appeared in the competition 16 times.
3. Argentina – 152 Goals
Argentina sits third on the all-time list with three World Cup titles, won in 1978, 1986, and 2022. The South American side has played in 18 World Cups and reached three more finals without winning. From Diego Maradona to Lionel Messi, Argentina’s scoring tradition runs deep, and Messi continues to add to the nation’s tally at the 2026 World Cup.
2. Brazil – 241 Goals
Brazil is tied for the most World Cup goals scored by any nation. They remain the only country to have played in every World Cup since the tournament began in 1930, with 23 appearances and counting. Brazil also holds the record for most titles, with five championships, and they are the only team to have won the World Cup across four different continents.
1. Germany – 241 Goals
Germany sits level with Brazil at the top of the all-time scoring chart. With four World Cup titles, the most recent coming in 2014, Germany has remained one of the most consistent forces in the tournament’s history. Miroslav Klose, a former German striker, still holds the record for most individual World Cup goals with 16. Germany continues to add to their tally at the 2026 World Cup, including a 5-0 win over Curacao in the group stage.
Final Takeaway
Eight nations have scored 100 or more goals in FIFA World Cup history: Germany and Brazil lead with 241 each, followed by Argentina (152), France (136), Italy (128), Spain and England (108 each), and the Netherlands, the newest member at 103. The Netherlands is the only country on the list that has never won the World Cup. Since the 2026 tournament is still in the group stage, these numbers will keep climbing before it ends.
