Name the Winning Squad

How many of a World Cup-winning squad can you name?

Name the Winning Squad is a football memory game about the FIFA World Cup. Pick one of the great World Cup-winning teams — from England 1966 to Argentina 2022 — and type as many of its 22-to-26-man squad as you can recall, including the reserves. How well do you really know the legendary teams?

Tips for naming the squad

Work through the team position by position — start with the famous starting XI, then dig into the substitutes and squad players who are easy to forget. Running through the matches you remember from the tournament often jogs loose the deeper cuts.
