BBC Sport has launched the latest edition of its popular 'Who Am I?' football quiz, challenging fans to identify a mystery World Cup star. The game, now in its 12th installment, presents a new footballer each day, and participants must 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. Players make guesses, and after each incorrect attempt, a new clue is revealed. The goal is to identify the player after as few clues as possible to earn a higher score. A score of three is considered good, while four or five points is exceptional.
