- BBC Sport publishes three daily football quizzes on a dedicated page: "Who Am I?", "Five in Five", and "Brainteaser", each with a distinct scoring mechanic.
- "Who Am I?" rewards players with more points for guessing the footballer using fewer clues, with each wrong guess unlocking a new hint.
- "Five in Five" challenges players to deliver five correct answers within a five-minute window, while "Brainteaser" gives players five lives before the answer is revealed.
- Monday's quiz edition was authored by Huzaifah Khan in collaboration with BBC Sport users Robert in Warwickshire and D West in West London.
- BBC Sport runs dedicated Football Quizzes and Sports Quizzes hub pages where readers can sign up for notifications to receive new quizzes directly to their devices.
Why it matters: BBC Sport's daily quizzes turn passive football fans into active participants, with a tiered scoring system ("Who Am I?" rewards fewer clues with more points) that incentivises deeper knowledge rather than simple recall — and the platform openly credits user-submitted content, giving readers a low-stakes path into BBC Sports publishing.
