The BBC Sport team has launched a daily footballer guessing game timed to coincide with growing excitement around the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The quiz challenges players to identify a mystery footballer using as few clues as possible, with points awarded for early correct answers.
Each day brings a brand new player to identify, keeping the game fresh and encouraging fans to return regularly for a new challenge.
The rules are straightforward, as players make a guess and unlock a new clue with every wrong answer they submit.
Scoring fewer correct guesses earns more points, making it a competitive game for those who follow football closely and know their players well.
According to the format, three points is considered a good score, while four or five points is described as exceptional.
Today’s edition of the quiz is the 27th in the World Cup star series, with the player and clues set by BBC Sport’s Huzaifah Khan.
The game is part of a broader suite of football quizzes available on the BBC Sport platform, covering a wide range of topics and competitions.
Fans can also test their knowledge with related quizzes, including naming every nation at the FIFA World Cup 2026 and identifying the ten Lionesses with the most England caps.
Other available quizzes challenge players to name top nations’ leading scorers and every club currently competing in the Premier League and EFL.
Players are encouraged to sign up for notifications through the BBC Sport Football Quizzes and Sports Quizzes pages to receive the latest games directly to their device.
With World Cup 2026 firmly underway, the daily quiz series offers supporters a fun and engaging way to test their footballing knowledge throughout the tournament.
