This list is not exhaustive.
There are plenty of father-son partnerships that have made their mark on the international stage.
Justin Kluivert and his father Patrick could soon be added to this roll of honour. Patrick bagged an impressive 40 goals during his 79-cap Netherlands career.
Bournemouth midfielder Justin is yet to score for the Oranje, but will be looking to change that at the upcoming World Cup this summer.
If Justin finds the net for the Netherlands, the Kluiverts will join the Gudjohnsens in having three successive generations score at international level, as grandfather Kenneth scored twice for Suriname in three appearances.
Sergio Conceicao scored a famous hat-trick for Portugal against Germany at Euro 2000, and 24 years later his son Francisco ensured they replicated the Chiesas as he scored for Portugal in the opening match of Euro 2024.
As Wales prepare for their friendly against Romania on Saturday, it is fitting that we discuss Welsh tormenter Georghe Hagi and his son Ianis.
Georghe was apart of the Romania side that qualified for three consecutive World Cups and scored 35 goals for his national team, while his son Ianis has scored eight times for his country.
As Argentina prepare to defend their World Cup triumph, Diego Simeone and his two sons deserve a mention.
Diego scored 11 goals in 106 appearances, while his eldest son Giovanni scored once, and the exciting prospect and youngest son Giuliano has 11 caps to his name and a goal against rivals Brazil in 2025.
