It’s football quiz time again – and this one will test your memory of every player who appeared in Nike’s iconic 2002 television advert.

The unforgettable commercial brought together global legends like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Kaka, creating one of the most memorable football campaigns ever filmed.

Major international tournaments often bring along blockbuster advertising, with global brands jumping on the World Cup or European Championship excitement. From Brazil’s team dancing through an airport to the Galacticos styled as cowboys, fans have enjoyed countless classic ads over the years.

With an estimated production budget of $100 million, the Nike campaign showcased 24 of the world’s top footballers, divided into eight teams of three. They faced off in a high-energy, first-goal-wins knockout competition set on a ship, all to the beat of a remixed version of Elvis Presley’s ‘A Little Less Conversation’, with Eric Cantona as the charismatic host. It was pure creative brilliance. But before you go searching online to watch it again, here’s your challenge – can you name all 24 players who featured? Best of luck!

Having navigated through the thrilling world of Nike’s Secret Tournament, we now shift focus from those legends in the cage to the global stage – celebrating the stars, the underdog nations, and the massive stadiums that give the sport its grandeur. Another exciting round of challenges awaits, courtesy of Kwizly.

We begin by testing your global football knowledge: can you identify the 30 most populous countries that have never appeared at the World Cup? Then, we recognise individual success and endurance in the Premier League – see if you can name every African nation’s record appearance holder in the Premier League. It’s a tribute to the dedication of those outstanding imports who have left a lasting mark on English football.

From personal milestones, we move to the game’s top honour in England. Can you recall every player who has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame? This quiz celebrates the elite who have defined the competition’s history. And for one last challenge related to football infrastructure, test whether you can list the 48 stadiums in English football with a capacity exceeding 20,000.
