FourFourTwo has published a new quiz that asks readers to name the top 40 teams in the World Cup all-time table in order. The challenge gives players 10 minutes to get through the list, turning one of football’s biggest competitions into a memory test built around its most successful sides.
The quiz is landing now because the World Cup has moved into a 48-team format, and interest in the history behind the tournament has only grown with World Cup 2026 approaching. That makes the search around who won the 2022 world cup feel part trivia, part check on how well fans remember the sport’s biggest stage.
FourFourTwo ties the game to familiar World Cup touchpoints, including Canada, Mexico and the United States, along with Zinedine Zidane and Italy's Berlin triumph, Erling Haaland, The Big 2006 World Cup Quiz and Weekend Crossword 59. The mix is deliberate: this is not a one-question teaser, but a wider invitation to keep moving through football history in quiz form.
The catch is that the task is harder than it looks because the ranking has to be exact. Readers are told to name the top 40 teams in order, yet the challenge itself does not lay out the full list in the text shown, leaving players to work from memory, logic and whatever they know about the game’s all-time table.
That is why the quiz works as more than a diversion. It asks fans to prove they know the hierarchy of World Cup history, not just the headline winners, and it pushes them toward FourFourTwo’s quiz archive if they want another shot after the clock runs out.
