Reaching 100 goals, a landmark achievement in professional football that signifies consistency, skill, and longevity. Also known as a century of goals, it’s a milestone that separates good players from legends. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about pressure, timing, and showing up when it matters most. Whether it’s a striker for a top club, a national team captain, or a surprise hero in a smaller league, hitting 100 goals means you’ve outlasted injuries, defenses, and doubters.
Some players reach it in a single league—like Lionel Messi, the Argentine forward who shattered records in La Liga and MLS with his precision and vision. Others do it across continents, competitions, and decades. Then there are the ones who hit 100 goals in international play, carrying entire nations on their shoulders. The Club World Cup, a global stage where club teams from every continent clash, has seen its own share of goal heroes, like the players who stunned giants in Charlotte or Nanning. Even in qualifiers—like the CAF World Cup qualifiers, the grueling African tournament where every goal can change a country’s future—a single strike can mean the difference between hope and heartbreak.
Behind every 100-goal milestone is a story. Maybe it’s a penalty in Lomé that lifted Togo’s spirits. Or a hat-trick on Decision Day that secured a Golden Boot. Maybe it’s a brace in a surprise win over Barcelona that ended an unbeaten run. These aren’t just stats—they’re moments frozen in time, watched by millions, remembered for generations. You’ll find them all here: the big names, the quiet achievers, the underdogs who scored their hundredth in front of 5,000 fans instead of 80,000. This collection isn’t about who scored the most—it’s about who made every goal count.
