Harry Kane is set to be honoured by the Football Association (FA) during England’s upcoming Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley Stadium on November 12. The England captain will be recognised for becoming the country’s record appearance holder, having surpassed the previous mark of 125 caps held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton. Kane’s milestone comes as he reaches 126 international appearances, setting a new standard for England players.

Kane, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, recently received a guard of honour from his club teammates following his win of the Ballon d’Or, an award given annually to the best male footballer in the world. The striker’s achievement has further solidified his status as one of England’s most significant football figures.

The FA has confirmed that Shilton, who held the longstanding record, is expected to attend the match to pay tribute to Kane’s accomplishment. While Kane’s participation during the game will depend on his fitness, the event is expected to focus on celebrating his contribution to the national team.

Kane’s international career spans over a decade, during which he has been a key player and captain for England, contributing goals and leadership in major tournaments including the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship. The upcoming fixture against Croatia represents an opportunity for fans and officials alike to acknowledge his significant impact on English football.
