BBC Sport launches a daily “Who am I?” quiz that challenges fans to identify a World Cup star footballer using the fewest clues. Each wrong guess reveals another hint, and participants earn points based on how quickly they solve the puzzle. A three‑point finish is respectable; four or five points earn top marks. It runs each morning, drawing participants from across Europe and beyond.

Today's edition, curated by Joe Rindl, presents a fresh set of hints aimed at a different international forward. Players can submit guesses in the comment box, unlocking successive clues until the answer emerges. Clues include club stats and recent tournament form. The quiz sits alongside a dedicated Football Quizzes hub where fans can explore past challenges and sign up for notification alerts.

The interactive format boosts engagement by turning routine match‑day chatter into a competitive puzzle, encouraging repeat visits and deeper knowledge of elite players. By rewarding swift identification, the game reinforces fan loyalty to BBC Sport’s digital platform and expands its audience beyond passive news consumers. The leaderboard updates in real time, fostering friendly rivalry among users.
