However, there are organizations in charge of football statistics that place the Portuguese in different positions in the table of historical scorers.
Pelé recently reopened the debate on who is the top scorer in the history of professional football by stating on his social networks that he scored 1,283 goals, as supported by the Guinness record and FIFA itself, which recognizes the Brazilian having scored more than 1,200.
For its part, the Football and Sports Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) ranks the Czech-Austrian Josef Bican as the top scorer in history with more than 805 verified goals in official matches.
In the ranking, Brazilian Romario appears second with 772 and Pelé is in third place with 767.
Meanwhile, the International Federation of Soccer History and Statistics (IFFHS) gives Pelé first place with the aforementioned 767, escorted by Cristiano Ronaldo.
