Iceland's Guðjón Valur Sigurðsson holds the record with 1879 goals.
Kiril Lazarov of North Macedonia holds the record for most goals per game.

In total, 27 handballers to date have scored 1000 or more goals for their national teams at senior level.

A vast majority of the players who scored at least 1000 goals, are from the modern era of the sport. This is partly because fewer games were played at international level than today.

World Championship at least once. Ahmed El-Ahmar
is the only non-European player to appear on this list.
