In women's association football competitions, 65 players have scored 300 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 ran independently by an English man. FIFA, the international governing body of football, has never released a list detailing the highest women's goalscorers and does not keep official records.
