In women's association football competitions, 29 players have scored 500 or more goals over the course of their career in both club and international football, according to research by Independent Football Data (IFD), an organisation run independently by an Englishman. FIFA, the international governing body of football, has never released a list detailing the highest women's goalscorers, and does not keep official records.
