Love football crosswords? Here are some handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

Well done for navigating FourFourTwo's Football Crossword. Now that your brain is warmed up, it’s time to move to the biggest challenges the game has to offer, courtesy of Kwizly.

We start with the Champions League elite. See if you can name every club to qualify for the Champions League from Europe's top five leagues. Next, we zoom out to the international game and ask you to dig deep into football history. See if you can name every nation to have reached an international semi-final.

Try your luck and see if you can name every player to win both the Champions League and Europa League. It’s a challenge only a few could ever complete. Following that high-level recall, we'll give your knowledge of the domestic structure a thorough test. Can you name every club in the top seven tiers of English football? Now that is dedication.

Finally, finish your quiz session by seeing if you can name these 100 players just from their career path. That requires a seriously deep, almost spooky level of recall. Remember to sign up to the newsletter, too, for more quizzes beamed to your inbox daily.
