World Cup quiz: Can you name every winner?

What the report says

BBC Sport Football published a World Cup-themed quiz by journalist Adam Millington, first dated 19 July 2026 and updated on 20 July 2026. The item says the 2026 World Cup has finished and invites readers to test whether they can identify every country that has won the men’s tournament.

According to BBC Sport, the quiz focuses on the eight national teams that have lifted the men’s World Cup. The article does not provide a match report, winner of the 2026 final, scores or tournament analysis; its purpose is interactive, directing users to recall past champions and engage with BBC Sport’s wider football quiz coverage.

The piece also points readers toward related BBC quiz pages, including quizzes on every nation at the 2026 World Cup, previous World Cup hosts, England’s and Scotland’s squads, and other sports quizzes. It includes a reference to information collected through the quiz, suggesting the page is part of BBC Sport’s interactive content offering rather than a conventional news article.

For context, the men’s FIFA World Cup is one of football’s most-watched competitions, and its list of winners is relatively short compared with the number of countries that have taken part. BBC Sport’s quiz uses that history as the basis for a post-tournament knowledge test, following the conclusion of the 2026 edition.
