1.Pele - 7
Pele, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, catapulted to stardom through his exceptional performances for Santos and the Brazilian national team. At the tender age of 18, he led his country to their inaugural World Cup triumph in 1958, etching his name in history by scoring in the final and becoming the first teenager to achieve such a feat on the grandest stage of them all.
While many footballers strive their entire careers to win a single World Cup, Pele accomplished the remarkable feat of securing three World Cup titles with Brazil, a record that remains unmatched to this day. His unparalleled success on the field culminated in him being honored with the prestigious FIFA Player of the Century award in 2000, solidifying his status as a true legend of the sport.
2.Ali Daei - 8
Ali Daei is a revered figure in the realm of Asian football, having left an indelible mark on the sport. While he donned the jerseys of esteemed clubs such as Hertha Berlin and Bayern Munich, it was his tenure with the Iranian national team that truly solidified his legendary status.
During his time representing Iran, Daei showcased his exceptional talent by netting an impressive 109 goals in 149 matches. His remarkable feat included the achievement of eight international hat-tricks, further highlighting his prowess on the field. For 17 years, Ali Daei held the esteemed title of the all-time leading goal scorer in international football until Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed him on September 1, 2021.
3.Sven Rydell - 9
Sven Rydell is widely regarded as one of the greatest Swedish strikers of all time, being the first prominent player to emerge from Sweden. Throughout his illustrious career, Rydell remained loyal to his homeland, showcasing his exceptional talent on the field. He achieved a remarkable feat by scoring 49 goals in just 43 appearances for the Swedish national team, a record that stood unchallenged for eight decades until Zlatan Ibrahimovic surpassed it in 2014.
What truly sets Rydell apart is his incredible ability to score nine hat-tricks within his tally of 49 goals.
4.Cristiano Ronaldo - 10
Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved a remarkable feat by recording 10 international hat-tricks for Portugal. His first hat-trick was in 2013 during a World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland. That same year, Ronaldo's exceptional performance in a play-off match against Sweden secured Portugal's place in the 2014 World Cup. His goal-scoring abilities were further showcased with multiple hat-tricks against nations such as Armenia, Andorra, and Lithuania. Ronaldo's consistent success on the international stage solidifies his reputation as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
5.Lionel Messi - 10
Lionel Messi achieved a remarkable feat by scoring his 10th international hat-trick during Argentina's dominant 6-0 victory over Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match took place at the renowned Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, where Messi displayed his exceptional finishing and playmaking abilities. His first goal came just 19 minutes into the game, seizing upon a defensive error and expertly placing the ball past Bolivia's goalkeeper, Guillermo Viscarra.
As the Argentine captain, Messi continued to shine by scoring two more goals towards the end of the match, both resulting from well-coordinated team efforts. His signature left-footed strikes left Viscarra with no chance, solidifying another milestone in his illustrious career.
