Last match included: Brazil-Uruguay, 6 Jul 2024
NB: the match Kuwait Sports Club-Brazil (0-4, 7-10-2006) is
not included as it did not involve the Kuwaiti national
team but a club side with several non-Kuwaiti and guest
players and so was not a full A-international.

Note: * indicates the player is still active, at least at club level.
NB: in January 2001 (!), FIFA decided not to recognize matches against FIFA
or continental selections as full internationals, classifying them as
exhibition games, and scratched all caps and goals earned in these
matches from the records. After the French and Italian FAs refused to
follow this ruling, the Brazilian FA eventually decided to keep the
match on November 6, 1968 vs FIFA (Brazil won 2-1) in the records
as well, which is reflected in the above ranking; affected players
would be: Pelé, Rivelino (1 goal), Jairzinho, Gérson, Paulo César,
Tostão (1 goal) and Carlos Alberto.
