How many World Cup goals did Brazilian Ronaldo score? Ronaldo scored 15 World Cup goals for Brazil.
Known as Ronaldo Nazário or “O Fenômeno,” the Brazilian striker scored four goals at the 1998 World Cup, eight at the 2002 tournament and three at the 2006 tournament. Those totals add up to 15 goals in 19 World Cup appearances.
His finest campaign came in 2002, when he scored eight goals, including both goals in Brazil’s 2–0 final victory over Germany. He won the Golden Boot as Brazil captured its fifth World Cup title.
Ronaldo briefly held the all-time World Cup scoring record after passing Gerd Müller’s 14 goals in 2006. Germany’s Miroslav Klose later surpassed him with 16. This question refers to Ronaldo Nazário, not Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, whose World Cup record is a separate statistic.
