Take the World Cup quiz

What the World Cup is

Organized by FIFA, it decides the world champion among men's national teams and is held, as a rule, every four years. Teams that come through qualifying on each continent meet at the finals, and the winner takes the most prestigious title in the game.

Qatar 2022

Known as the first tournament held in the Middle East and the Arab world, it also drew attention for being played in the northern hemisphere's winter (November to December) rather than at the usual time of year. These quizzes cover a tournament full of records — the final, the leading scorer, the nations making their debut.

What you will learn here

Questions are based on the official records, covering the basics — winners, scores in the final, leading scorers, host nations — through to the various firsts in the tournament's history. It is the kind of knowledge that makes watching more enjoyable.

How to approach it

Start with the recent tournaments you remember best, then work backwards as your accuracy rate tells you to. Each set takes only a few minutes, and comparing scores with friends is part of the fun.
