WORLD CUP RECORDS (Part 15) - CAPTAIN AT MOST EDITIONS


Picture : Rafael Marquez dominates !


Captain at most editions: Rafael Márquez 

Rafael Márquez is the only player over the World Cups history who took the captain duty in his team (Mexico) at 5 editions (from 2002 to 2018).
By now, he is dominant in this ranking: there is no other player even with 4 such editions.
However, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo which are in the group of 11 players with 3 editions, will almost certainly add 4th to his tally in Qatar.
