This is a BBC Sport daily quiz feature inviting readers to guess a World Cup footballer's identity from a series of progressively revealed clues, with fewer guesses earning a higher score. It forms part of an ongoing series tied to the build-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026, encouraging repeat engagement as a new player is featured each day.

The rules state that a correct guess after just one clue is the best outcome, with three points considered good and four or five exceptional; today's edition was set by BBC Sport's Adam Millington. The piece also promotes related quizzes, including naming all nations at the 2026 World Cup, the ten Lionesses with the most England caps, and top scorers from leading football nations, directing readers to the BBC's dedicated Football and Sports Quizzes pages.
