5 footballers who could break the record for most number of international appearances

#1 Bader Al-Mutawa

Al-Mutawa has the best chance of bettering Ahmed Hassan's record

With Gigi Buffon retiring from international football with 176 caps and Iker Casillas unlikely to play any more matches for Spain, Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa has the best chance of becoming the most capped player in international football than any other internationally active player.

The 33-year old forward is currently Kuwait's highest capped player with 161 matches, scoring 55 goals.

Al-Mutawa is currently 24 matches away from becoming the all-time leader in international appearances.

Provided Al-Mutawa is fit enough for another three to four years, he could very well better Ahmed Hassan's record.
