• Published50 minutes ago

There are just 10 days to go until the start of the 2026 World Cup where 48 nations will face off for the biggest prize in football.

To mark it, we want to test your knowledge. Can you name every side who has featured at a World Cup - including those who are doing so for the first time this year?

And be aware, we're after the name of each country as it was when they appeared in the World Cup, which might not always be the same name a nation is now known by.
