2023 officially opened. Although this is not the year of the World Cup, world football is still very interesting. A few days ago, FIFA published an article on its official website, taking stock of football records that are expected to be rewritten in 2023. Among them, Messi, Ronaldo, Harland, Ibrahimovic and other stars have the opportunity to write new history.
The 200th national team goal
Just 10 goals shy of Christine Sinclair scoring 200 goals for his country. This Canadian women’s football legend, who is about to celebrate his 40th birthday in June this year, has participated in five Women’s World Cups in the 21st century and scored 51 goals in total.
Last year, Sinclair played 11 times for the Canadian team in friendly matches, scoring 2 goals. In 2023, she is expected to start her sixth World Cup trip.

200th national team appearance
There are two players who are expected to achieve this feat this year. The star Ronaldo and the Kuwaiti international Mutawa have played 196 times for their respective national teams.
For Ronaldo, although Qatar failed to win the World Cup with the team, there is still an important event this year, the European Championship qualifiers.

622nd appearance in La Liga
Former Spanish goalkeeper Zubizarreta holds the record for most appearances in La Liga ( 622). However, the 41-year-old veteran Joaquin is only 16 games away from that record. The original text of FIFA is 17 games, but Joaquin came off the bench in the Betis team’s last round of the league.
So far this season, Joaquin has played 6 times in La Liga for Real Betis and started 1 time. Betis has 23 league games left. If Joaquin fails to rewrite the record this season, if he wants to surpass Zubizarreta, he can only find a new owner in La Liga after the contract with Betis expires in the summer.
