Antonio played his last tournament in 1966 since then only Lothar was able to make it to 5 tournaments and he played his last in 1998. After that only Buffon showed the potential to get past the record but failed to do so and became the member of the gang with 5 tournaments in his kitty. No other player can be seen near today who can claim this record.

This is another record which is hard to break or should we say impossible. There was a time when there was not much business. Today the player is not only committed to his team but to his club also. They have such a competitive life that to claim such records is difficult. They play continuously for the whole year.

In yesteryears there was not much competition so players were able to deliver for their country. This record is achieved by Lothar Matthaeus who played 25 FIFA matches. Second to him is another German

who has played 24 matches in his FIFA career. In the forthcoming World Cup there is no player who can achieve this feat.
