Football Quiz: Guess the World Cup Star – Day 26
Short overview
BBC Sport's daily 'Who am I?' football quiz challenges readers to identify a World Cup star using minimal clues. Today's player is set by Huzaifah Khan. Score points by guessing correctly after few clues.
BBC Sport continues its interactive 'Who am I?' football quiz series, inviting readers to identify a new World Cup star each day. The game, now on its 26th edition, challenges participants to guess the footballer's identity using as few clues as possible.
How the Game Works
The rules are straightforward: each day features a different footballer, and the objective is to determine who they are in the fewest attempts. After each incorrect guess, a new clue is revealed. Players earn points based on how quickly they identify the player—three points is considered a good score, while four or five points is exceptional.
Today's Challenge
Today's player and accompanying clues have been prepared by BBC Sport's Huzaifah Khan. Participants are encouraged to return daily for new challenges and can explore additional quizzes on the dedicated Football Quizzes and Sports Quizzes pages. Users can also sign up for notifications to receive the latest quizzes directly to their device.
