BBC Sport has rolled out a new World Cup quiz that asks participants to name the leading scorer for each of the top 20 countries in the FIFA global rankings. The interactive feature appears on the football section, inviting fans to test their knowledge ahead of the tournament. Correct answers unlock a leaderboard that tracks the most knowledgeable supporters. Including both legends and current stars.

Identifying a nation’s top marksman offers insight into its attacking pedigree and often reflects the player’s influence on recent qualifying campaigns. Fans who follow club and international scenes can quickly spot patterns, while casual observers gain a snapshot of each country’s historical firepower. The quiz therefore doubles as a quick primer on global football talent. The list also highlights emerging talents breaking into senior squads.

With the World Cup looming, the challenge tests not only recall but also the depth of a fan’s engagement with the sport. Those who correctly name every scorer demonstrate a breadth of knowledge that rivals seasoned analysts. The quiz ends with a final tally, confirming which participant truly knows the elite goal‑getters. It rewards the most dedicated supporters with a badge displayed on their profile.
