We’re on the hunt for all the 80-plus nations that have taken part in the world’s biggest football spectacle since its very first edition back in 1930.

It’s football quiz time!

QUIZ Can you arrange these 30 England players based on the number of goals they scored?

For those who’ve experienced it, there’s no greater honour than representing your country at the World Cup. While for most fans, the competition is all about the iconic stars – the likes of Maradona, Pele, Ronaldo and Messi – one of the most enjoyable aspects every four years is seeing a new nation make its debut on the grand stage.

There’s always at least one. Since the first World Cup in 1930, every edition has introduced at least one new country to the tournament. In this quiz, your challenge is to name them all. If a nation has undergone a name change – thanks to political developments – either version will count, but each will earn you a point. The year shown is the country’s debut appearance. You have 10 minutes to name 84 countries.

Your knowledge of world geography and football’s most prestigious competition is about to be tested. Ready for more trivia that stretches across eras and continents? Your next challenge comes courtesy of Kwizly.
