List of international goals scored by Romário
Romário is a Brazilian former professional football player who represented the Brazil national football team in international tournaments and friendlies as a striker from 1987 to 2005. He is currently the Brazil national football team's 4th-highest goalscorer with 55 goals, which he scored in 70 appearances for the Seleção. He has represented Brazil at 2 FIFA World Cups (1990, 1994) and 3 Copa Américas (1987, 1989, 1997). He was also part of the Brazil squads that won the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup and were bronze medalists in the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Most notably in his international career, he led Brazil to win the 1994 World Cup[1] and won the Golden Ball (Best Player Award) for his incredible performances.[2] He made his first ever appearance for Brazil in 1987 during a 1–0 loss in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland.[3] He scored his first international goal 5 days later, in a 4–0 win against Finland.[4] After being rarely called up for Brazil during the turn of the century due to fitness issues and alcoholism, he made his final appearance for his country in 2005 in a testimonial match for him in a 3–0 win against Guatemala. For that match, he was given captaincy of the Brazil squad and scored his final international goal in the 16th minute.[5]
