Every international game in which a player participates earns them a cap. For example, if a player appears in ten games, he or she has ten caps; if a player appears in 100 games, they have 100 caps. The most a player can have is 150 caps, based on the following example: If a player appeared in all six games of a single tournament, they would be awarded six caps for that tournament. The most a player can earn through appearances and goals is 200 caps. However, some players have been awarded more than this due to achievements outside of playing, such as scoring goal number 100 (which is possible because it is not known whether the player will get a goal or not). A few players have even been awarded 300 caps! The record holder for most international caps is Brazil's Pelé, who held this record from 1958 until 1993 when it was taken over by Argentina's Maradona. At his peak, Pelé played in 566 games over 16 years for Brazil and scored 266 goals. He earned himself 1030 caps in total. In second place is Italy's Maradona with 905 caps. The third highest earner is Uruguay's Suarez, who has 772 caps. These three players alone account for 70% of all international caps ever awarded.
