BBC Sport launches a daily ‘Who am I?’ football quiz, challenging fans to identify a hidden World Cup star with as few guesses as possible. Each wrong answer reveals a new clue, and a three‑guess finish earns a solid score, while four or five guesses are deemed exceptional. Points accumulate for quick solvers, and fans compete on leaderboards, comparing scores across the global community.

Today's puzzle, numbered 20, was assembled by Huzaifah Khan. Participants receive incremental hints until they name the player, improving their tally with each correct identification. The format rewards sharp knowledge of recent tournament performances, prompting users to revisit prior clues and compare statistics to narrow down the answer. Clues often reference club form, goal tallies, and memorable tournament moments.

The quiz slots into BBC Sport’s broader football‑quiz hub, where fans can explore archived challenges and sign up for push notifications. By turning player trivia into a competitive game, the site boosts engagement and keeps World Cup narratives alive between matches. BBC Sport thus leverages interactive content to deepen its audience’s connection to the sport. The initiative also drives traffic to related analysis pieces, enriching the site’s editorial ecosystem.
