Five-time world footballer Ronaldo could become the sole international world record holder with a possible 197th cap for Portugal. However, al-Mutawa, 37, is still active. In Europe, Ronaldo has long been at the top of this statistic, closely followed by the Spaniard Sergio Ramos (180) and the Italian Gianluigi Buffon (176). German national team record player Lothar Matthäus has 150 caps.
