A new daily football quiz has been launched by BBC Sport, challenging readers to identify a mystery World Cup star in as few attempts as possible. The game, published on Wednesday, offers a fresh footballer each day, with clues set by BBC Sport's Joe Rindl. After each wrong guess, a new clue is unlocked, and players score points based on how quickly they guess correctly – three is a good score, while four or five points is considered exceptional.
The quiz is part of an expanding library of interactive puzzles on the BBC Sport website. Other challenges include naming every nation at the Fifa World Cup 2026, identifying the 10 Lionesses with the most England caps, and listing the top scorers of leading nations. A separate quiz asks players to name every club in the Premier League and EFL.
