Star Players Quiz

Star Players Quiz: The Biggest Names in Soccer, Put to the Test

Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappé, Zidane, Maradona, Pelé, Neymar, Benzema, Griezmann, Platini: ten legends who left their mark on world soccer, and a soccer quiz to test what you really remember. 9 playable quizzes, 89 verified questions, three difficulty levels. You play right in your browser, no sign-up, no download, free.

Ballon d'Or Wins, Records, Honors

Eight Ballon d'Or wins for Messi, five for Cristiano Ronaldo, three for Platini, one for Zidane in 1998, and one for Benzema in 2022: the individual trophy alone tells the story of six decades of soccer. The quizzes also cover Pelé's three World Cup titles (1958, 1962, 1970), Maradona's back-to-back Serie A titles with Napoli (1987, 1990), and Portugal's Euro 2016 championship led by Cristiano.

Careers, Clubs, Transfers

A star's career is also a journey through clubs. Zidane spent five years at Juventus before Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Manchester United in 2003 at age 18. Neymar's transfer to PSG in 2017 for €222 million set a world record. Mbappé came up through AS Bondy and then Monaco, spent seven seasons in Paris, and joined Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2024. Messi left Barcelona for Paris in 2021, then Miami in 2023. These are the exact dates the medium and hard questions go after.

A Timed Format for a Change

Want to race the clock instead of picking from multiple choice? The chronological quiz challenges you to nail the exact year of key moments (the Hand of God in 1986, the 1998 World Cup win, etc.). Same theme, cross-format, different pace.

Score, Timer, Overall Leaderboard

Every game logs your time and score. You can find them afterward on the overall leaderboard to compare yourself with other players. And for a daily dose, the quiz of the day serves up a new selection every morning, covering every topic.

Dig Deeper into Soccer

The stars are just a starting point. The soccer quiz covers much more ground: competitions, clubs, national teams, the history of the game. To stay on soccer players, more angles are coming soon — legendary goalkeepers, record-breaking strikers, generational midfielders. Check back regularly, or dive straight into the quiz of the day.
