BBC Sport continues its interactive football quiz series, 'Who Am I?', inviting readers to identify a mystery World Cup star each day. The game, now on day 17, challenges participants to guess the player's identity using as few clues as possible.
How the Game Works
The rules are straightforward: each day a new footballer is featured, and players must deduce their name. After each incorrect guess, a new clue is revealed. The fewer clues needed, the higher the score. A score of three is considered good, while four or five points is exceptional.
Today's Challenge
Today's player and clues have been set by BBC Sport's Huzaifah Khan. Readers are encouraged to participate and return daily for new challenges.
