Guinness World Records has honored Cristiano Ronaldo’s extraordinary achievement of reaching 200 international caps for Portugal.
The top scorer joined the Guinness World Records Hall of Fame 2023 after smashing plenty of records both on and off the pitch, forever shaping the world of football.
Recall that in 2022, after his 196th match for Portugal, Ronaldo equalled the record for the most international football caps by an individual (male), a title he shared with Kuwait’s Bader Al-Mutawa.
A year later, in March 2023, the player made history by breaking his own record and surpassing Al-Mutawa, with a total of 198 giving him the most international caps EVER.
This incredible number has been achieved between 20 August 2003 and 26 March this year.
On 20th June 2023, Ronaldo returned to the pitch for his memorable, history-changing 200th game.
As Portugal faced Iceland, Ronaldo led his team through an intense match that ended with a 1-0 victory for Portugal. Remarkably, he scored the only goal of the night.
On the occasion, he also celebrated his incredible achievement with a Guinness World Records certificate.
During the nail-biting match, the footballing GOAT was presented with an official Guinness World Records certificate to celebrate his achievements. The emotional moment was forever captured by a Reel that Ronaldo shared on Instagram.
Speaking on the development, the elated Ronaldo said “Triumph with a special flavor. Not only for the day it was, for the tribute, for the 200th game… To top it off with a goal, I can’t ask for more. It was spectacular, unforgettable, for everything it generated around the game. I have to thank to the Icelanders, to the federation for the surprise. And to Guinness World Records!”
