Who am I? Guess World Cup star No 40
This is a daily BBC Sport quiz feature, the 40th in a series, inviting readers to guess a footballer connected to the World Cup based on a set of progressively revealed clues. It is part of BBC Sport's ongoing "Who am I?" quiz strand rather than a traditional news story, so there is no event or development to report.
Players earn more points for guessing correctly with fewer clues, with three correct guesses considered good and four or five deemed exceptional. The quiz was set by BBC Sport's Joe Rindl and sits alongside other related quizzes, including one naming every nation at the 2026 World Cup and others covering top scorers and England cap records.
In short
- BBC Sport's 40th "Who am I?" World Cup football quiz.
- Guess the mystery player using fewest clues for a higher score.
- Part of a wider series of BBC football and sports quizzes.
