The BBC has introduced a daily footballer guessing game tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026, challenging fans to identify a mystery player using as few clues as possible.
The format is straightforward, with a new footballer revealed each day and players encouraged to return daily to test their knowledge against fresh challenges.
Each incorrect guess unlocks an additional clue, giving participants more information to work with as the game progresses through each round.
Scoring is based on how few clues a player needs before identifying the correct answer, rewarding those with sharp football knowledge and quick thinking.
A score of three is considered a good result, while managing to identify the footballer in just four or five attempts is described as exceptional.
Today marks the 20th instalment in the series, with the daily player and clues set by BBC Sport’s Huzaifah Khan.
The game is part of a broader push by BBC Sport to engage football fans with interactive content during the World Cup 2026 tournament.
Those who miss a daily edition can return to previous quizzes, with all Who Am I? instalments available together in one dedicated place on the BBC Sport website.
Alongside the guessing game, BBC Sport has also published a quiz challenging fans to name every nation competing at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Other recent quizzes include naming the ten Lionesses with the most England caps and identifying the leading scorers for top nations at the World Cup.
A further challenge asks participants to name every club currently competing across the Premier League and EFL, covering the full breadth of English football’s professional pyramid.
