Who Am I? Guess the World Cup Star – Clue No. 18
Short overview
BBC Sport's daily football quiz returns with a new mystery World Cup star. Players must identify the footballer using as few clues as possible, with scores based on attempts. Today's puzzle is set by Adam Millington.
BBC Sport has launched the latest edition of its popular 'Who Am I?' football quiz, challenging fans to identify a World Cup star from a series of clues. The game, which runs daily, presents a new mystery footballer each day. Participants must guess the player's identity in as few attempts as possible, with each wrong guess unlocking an additional clue.
How the Game Works
The rules are straightforward: a new footballer is featured every day, and the objective is to name them using the fewest clues. After each incorrect guess, a new clue is revealed. Scoring is based on efficiency — three attempts is considered a good score, while four or five attempts is exceptional. The game encourages repeat participation, with a new puzzle available each day.
Today's Challenge
Today's player and clues have been set by BBC Sport's Adam Millington. Fans can test their knowledge and compete for the best score. The quiz is part of a broader collection of football and sports quizzes available on the BBC Sport website.
