We've got another quiz for you.

... and if you know your geography, that might help. There are 211 nations playing under the FIFA banner, but 127 of them have NEVER qualified for a World Cup

The expanded format in 2026 has increased their chances, and rumours of a further increase to 64 even more so. But still more than half have never played in the tournament.

Cape Verde, Haiti and Curacao all made their bow at this year's event; who will be next to debut?

You have 25 minutes to name as many of the hopefuls as you can.

Let's get quizzical.

Some flags are so synonymous with World Cups that they require no geographical knowledge. We're thinking of Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy... maybe not Italy, actually. But there are others that are far more obscure, particularly in 2026, when the World Cup expanded from 32 countries to 48.

So do you know your Cape Verde flag from your Curacao flag? We want you to correctly identify every flag from every team at this year's tournament. There are 48 answers, and you have just four minutes. Get quizzing!

We've reached the end of World Cup 2026, but we have plenty more quizzes on football's greatest tournament to keep you occupied between now and the start of the domestic season. If you're feeling some World Cup withdrawal symptoms already, how about testing your knowledge – courtesy of Kwizly.

If you know your goalkeepers, this one might be up your street. We're asking you to name every World Cup Golden Glove winner since the award's inception in 1994. Every goalkeeper needs a tactically astute team of outfield players in front of them, and that is largely the responsibility of elite managers. We reckon you should try to name every World Cup winning manager in the tournament's history. This goes back all the way to 1930, so it's a real test of your knowledge.

The World Cup is of course often remembered for it's star performers, with Lionel Messi lighting up the tournament once again in 2026, but can you name every Golden, Silver and Bronze Ball winner since 1982? Following that, you could challenge yourself with a quiz that doesn't necessarily require such a long memory and name every Spain player with over 50 caps. How many of La Roja's greatest players do you remember?

The true trivia titans aren't content with just quizzes, which is why we can offer you FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 61, featuring clues on wonderkids, wondergoals and 1-0s. As the World Cup fades into memory and the new club season approaches, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for your daily afternoon briefing of hand-picked trivia so you are armed with everything you need to know.

It's Pre-Match Poser time…

What connects the following: a legacy of Pele; Europe’s elite clubs during the 2000s; Italy's and Ivory Coast’s last trophies; and matchgoers in the top four divisions in England during COVID-19?

We'll reveal the answer this time next week in the next edition of The Pre-Match Poser – stay tuned for that – but for now, here's the answer to last week's conundrum…

Q. Since plans to move Qatar’s Stadium 974 to Uruguay for the 2030 World Cup look to have been shelved, which is the only arena to have seen two men’s World Cups in the 21st Century?

A. Bruce Arena, who coached the United States in 2002 and 2006.

Great work on that one, we thought the Pele thing might stump a few of ya. Let's pivot to some more quizzes though, this time powered by Kwizly, as we shift focus from cryptic clues to the sheer statistical and historical weight of the English and European game.

We’re starting with a massive audit of the most lethal finishers to ever grace the pitch and the record-breakers of the modern era. We want you to demonstrate your archival depth by naming every Champions League hat-trick scorer ever, a task that requires you to track the most dominant individual performances in continental history. Once you’ve conquered Europe, it’s time to bring it home to the English top flight: can you name the top 100 scorers in Premier League history?

If your expertise is more about the emotional transitions of the game or the romance of a classic underdog story, try to name the starting XI from Michael Carrick's last-ever match as a player, or pivot to the modern-day shocks by naming every FA Cup giantkiller since 2020. From the stars who shared the pitch with a United icon during his Old Trafford curtain call to the lower-league heroes who have defied the odds in the current decade, let’s see if your scouting network can handle both the sentimental and the sensational.

The 2022 World Cup had some truly memorable moments. The final was sensational, but it was full of surprise knockouts and incredible group stage drama.

It was also full of goals, and before the 2026 World Cup and its expanded format, was the highest scoring tournament of all-time

You have to name all 31 players on the list in eight minutes, but to help you out slightly we have given you their nation, don't say we aren't kind!

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

Cracking a crossword is the ultimate test of lateral thinking, but once you've untangled those cryptic clues, it’s time to move from the dictionary to the dugout. While crosswords reward a broad vocabulary, these quizzes – also powered Kwizly – reward a deep, obsessive knowledge of the Premier League's most prestigious records and individual legacies.

We’re starting with the heavy hitters: the players who turned excellence into a habit. We want to see if you can identify the most decorated icons by naming every player to have won four or more Premier League titles, before switching the focus to the clinical finishers: can you name every player to score 20+ goals in a Premier League season? It’s a test of sustained dominance and high-pressure output that separates the genuine historians from those who only watch the season-ending highlight reels.

If your expertise is more about the tactical evolution of the game and the legendary dream teams of the past, we have two formidable hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can prove your knowledge of career transitions by naming every man to have played and managed in the Premier League, or take on the ultimate debate by naming every Premier League winners' all-time XI. From the stars who swapped the captain's armband for a suit to the definitive lineups of the title-winning giants, let’s see if your footballing IQ remains world-class when the focus shifts to legacy and leadership.

For something completely different, see how you get on with FourFourTwo's Brazilian footballers wordsearch and our Big Premier League wordsearch.

It's the global game for a reason: let's see how many South Korean cities you remember.

If your scouting network is more attuned to visual branding or the oddities of international goalscoring charts, we have two highly specialised hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can put your observation skills to the ultimate test by attempting to identify these 100 football badges, a gruelling visual trial spanning global giants and obscure lower-league outfits alike. After cracking the emblems, bring it back to international shores for a true test of niche trivia: can you name every player with exactly one England goal since 2000?

Time to get quizzing.

One of the joys of the World Cup is seeing a debutant upset the odds. At World Cup 2026, it was all about Cape Verde and their 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha, as they battled their way to the last 32 and took reigning champions Argentina to extra-time.

However, some teams don't quite capture the imagination in the same way and find themselves on the first flight home. Your task is to name all 26 teams to have reached a World Cup and failed to make it out of the group stage, in just 10 minutes. Blink and you'll miss them...

If World Cup trivia is your thing, there's plenty more where that came from. We have countless quizzes designed to test your awareness of the players who starred on the biggest stage and the arenas in which they created history – courtesy of Kwizly.

There's nothing more tense than penalties and we can all remember the players who fluffed their lines from 12 yards when the pressure was on. But can you name every player to score in a World Cup penalty shootout this century? When it comes to World Cup icons, certain players always spring to mind, but can you remember the best at each tournament? If you think you can, have a go at naming every Golden Ball, Silver Ball and Bronze Ball winner at the World Cup.

This summer's World Cup has been played in some incredible stadiums that provide a stunning backdrop to the artistry on the pitch.

Fortunately, we have plenty more quizzes designed to test your awareness of the icons who have defined the grandest stage on Earth and the teams they represented – courtesy of Kwizly.

We're taking it right back to 1966 as we ask you to name the England XI that beat West Germany 4-2 in that famous final at Wembley 60 years ago. Unfortunately for Three Lions fans, that game is England's only appearance in a World Cup showpiece. France, meanwhile, have reached four of them since 1998 - so can you name every France player to have played in a World Cup final?

When it comes to World Cup icons, certain names always spring to mind, but can you remember the best player at each tournament? If you think you can, have a go at naming every Golden Ball, Silver Ball and Bronze Ball winner at the World Cup. The chances are that those players will have represented the most successful teams in the tournament's history.

Another week, another Pre-Match Poser.

Since plans to move Qatar’s Stadium 974 to Uruguay for the 2030 World Cup look to have been shelved… which is the only arena to have seen two men’s World Cups in the 21st Century?

We'll reveal the answer this time next week in the next edition of The Pre-Match Poser – stay tuned for that – but for now, here's the answer to last week's conundrum…

Q. What did Emmanuel Petit do that the following players – Jody Morris, Paul Scholes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Allan Nielsen – also managed?

A. Score the last goal of the 20th Century in a competition. Jody Morris’s 83rd-minute strike for Chelsea against Sheffield Wednesday on December 28, 1999, was the last Premier League goal before the New Year, Allan Nielsen’s winner against Leicester won the 1999 League Cup and Scholes and Solskjaer scored Manchester United’s second goals in the FA Cup and Champions League finals, respectively.

Now it’s time to see if your scouting network can stretch back across decades of UEFA drama and across the Atlantic to the rapidly expanding map of stateside soccer. Following your Pre-Match Poser, we've got quizzes courtesy of Kwizly that bridge the gap between the European elite and the growing power of the MLS.

First up, we want you to demonstrate your geographical depth by naming every country to have had a club in the Champions League, before honouring the true ironmen of the game: can you name every player with over 150 appearances in UEFA club competitions? From the early pioneers to modern-day titans like Cristiano Ronaldo and the evergreen Pepe Reina, it's an audit of longevity and continental pedigree that separates the genuine historians from the casual observers.

If your expertise is more about the individual elite or the strategic expansion of the game in North America, we have two formidable hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can prove your memory of the world’s most prestigious individual honor is top-tier by naming every English player nominated for the Ballon d'Or since 2000, covering the era of Beckham and Gerrard right up to the modern brilliance of Bellingham and Kane. Following that, it’s time to hop across the pond for a logistical challenge: can you name every MLS team? With the league entering a new era following the 2025 expansion, it’s time to see if you can track the map from the shores of Miami to the newcomers in San Diego.

Get your quiz hats on.

The World Cup 2026 has been a brilliant watch - it's just a shame that there are only half a dozen games remaining. We're at that point of the tournament where heroes write their names in the history books and become the answers to quiz questions for evermore.

On that note, we've created a World Cup true or false quiz, featuring trivia that spans the competition's 96-year history. There are only 10 questions, but you have unlimited time - and if you don't know the answer, just guess. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right!

Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

More players and teams will go down in World Cup folklore in the next week or so, but if this summer's tournament has piqued your interest in tournaments of years gone by, you've come to the right place. We have countless other great quizzes on international football and beyond, courtesy of Kwizly.

The last decade of (relative) England success began eight years ago in Russia, when Gareth Southgate's side reached the last four for the first time since 1990. It was one of the biggest games in Three Lions history, but can you name the starting line-up from England's World Cup semi-final against Croatia? We also have a quiz on another famous last-four clash, but you may not want to get involved if you're from a certain country in South America. Otherwise, we invite you to take a trip down memory lane and name the Germany XI that beat Brazil 7-1 in 2014.

When it comes to the business end of World Cups, no team has a better record in the past 30 years than France. Les Bleus have reached four of the past seven finals, lifting the trophy in 1998 and 2018, and we want you to name every Frenchman to have played in a World Cup final. If you're good at that quiz, you'll probably do well in our Big 1998 World Cup Quiz, which has 20 questions on the tournament that Les Bleus hosted and ultimately won.

On this penultimate weekend of the 2026 tournament, you might need time for a quiet sit down between games. Luckily, that's where FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 60 comes in, allowing you to work your way across the board by following our cryptic clues on all manner of topics.

Once you’ve mapped the champions, test your internal GPS and see if you can name every Premier League ground ever.

If your expertise is more about the elite output of the last decade or the heartbreak of continental competition, we have two high-intensity hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can prove your memory for goalscoring streaks is top-tier by naming every player who has scored a Premier League hat-trick in the last 10 years, or pivot to the tactical nightmares of the past by naming every club to have knocked an English team out of Europe. From the most recent match-ball winners to the overseas giants who proved a bridge too far, it’s time to see if your footballing IQ remains world-class under the brightest lights.

One of the great things about the World Cup is the array of characters the tournament throws up. Some of those are characters in the most literal sense: weird and wonderful creatures who are dreamt up as the official mascots of the competition.

These can be difficult to remember off the top of your head, but once you see their smiling faces you'll be transported back to a World Cup of years gone by. So, we want you to name these 14 mascots, and because it's a tricky quiz, we're giving you unlimited time. On your marks, get set, go!

Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

That certainly wasn't an easy set of questions, but if you managed to name all 14 mascots you truly are a World Cup expert. It also means that you would enjoy some of our other great quizzes on the Greatest Show on Earth, courtesy of Kwizly. With the latter stages of World Cup 2026 here, it's the perfect way to unwind after some tense knockout action.

If you recognised the mascot for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, you've probably got a good chance of naming the Ghana starting XI that lost to Uruguay on penalties that summer. That quarter-final in Johannesburg went down as one of the most iconic games of that tournament - not entirely for the right reasons - and while we're talking icons, why not test your knowledge of the GOAT himself? Try out our Big Lionel Messi Quiz and see if you can get 20 correct answers.

Many of us owe large parts of our geographical knowledge to football, having first learnt of some countries only when we watched our first World Cups. If you're one of those people, you'll enjoy trying to name every capital city of every nation at World Cup 2026. And no, you don't get double points for knowing the capital of Uzbekistan. If your knowledge lies in the on-pitch action, our Friday Football Quiz has a bit of everything, spanning several decades, clubs and countries.

We’re diving headfirst into the current tournament drama with a dual challenge designed to audit the massive field and the legendary leaders commanding the pitch right now.

Let's get quizzical.

There are certain years that immediately conjour memories of iconic World Cup moments. 2002? Ronaldinho's free-kick against England. 2006? Zinedine Zidane's headbutt. 2010? Frank Lampard's ghost goal. But for fans of certain clubs, those years will instead hold memories of glorious title wins.

That's why we want you to tell us every club to be crowned English league champions in a World Cup year (so, the Premier League or, pre-1992, the old First Division). There are 22 answers, spanning from 1930 to 2022, and you have just four minutes. Get quizzing!

We may be in the thick of the World Cup 2026, but we have plenty more quizzes on the domestic game to keep you occupied when you're not watching the tournament. If you want a break from wall-to-wall international football, how about testing your knowledge on other matters – courtesy of Kwizly.

If you managed to name all 22 English champions in a World Cup year, this next one will be right up your street. Expanding our horizons to include France, Germany, Italy and Spain, we're asking you to name every club to have won one of Europe's top five leagues since 1992. That year was hugely significant in football history, signalling the dawn of both the Premier League and the Champions League - and if you think you know everything about Europe's elite club competition, we reckon you should try to name every club to have played in the Champions League.

If you really want to drill down into your Champions League knowledge, we also have quizzes on more specific topics. One of the most iconic games in the competition's history was Inter Milan's incredible backs-to-the-wall effort against Pep Guardiola's Barcelona in the 2010 semi-finals. It was a match that spawned memes before memes were even a thing, but can you name Jose Mourinho's Inter side that held off Barca that night? Following that, you could challenge yourself with a set of questions that don't require such a long memory with our Ultimate Quiz of 2025/26. How much do you remember about the players, teams and moments that shaped last season?

The true trivia titans aren't content with just quizzes, which is why we can offer you FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 60, featuring clues on winners, losers and legends and a brilliantly cryptic mix of footballing folklore.

If your recollections of that game 16 years ago (how is it already 16 years?) are a little hazy, we also have quizzes on this summer's edition. With 48 teams at the tournament for the first time, there are more coaches than ever before - so can you name every manager at World Cup 2026?

We'll reveal the answer this time next week in the next edition of The Pre-Match Poser – stay tuned for that – but for now, here's the answer to last week's conundrum…

Q. Who completed a unique hat-trick at the 2010 World Cup, over a decade in the making, that not even Ferenc Puskas himself achieved? And it wasn’t Gonzalo Higuain…

A. Dejan Stankovic, who played for his third differently-named nation: Serbia, after Serbia and Montenegro in 2006 and Yugoslavia in 1998. The legendary Puskas played for Hungary in 1954 and Spain in 1962 – but stopped at a brace. Higuain scored a hat-trick in 2010, but not the name we’re looking for, here!

See if you can name Les Bleus' starting XI from that historic night in Seoul.

While it may sometimes seem like France is at the centre of the football universe, there are plenty of non-Gallic topics to get your teeth into.
