Women's Football: Legends & Tournaments

Can you connect a World Cup year with its host, champion and defining result? This women's football quiz brings together eight questions about international tournaments and standout players, from the first official FIFA Women's World Cup to Spain's 2023 title. It asks you to distinguish winning nations from host countries, recall landmark dates and link individual achievements to the players behind them. Marta's World Cup goals and the inaugural Ballon d'Or Féminin add a personal dimension to a quiz that also covers team honours. The questions move between the United States' title record, France's role in 2019, the joint hosts of the 2023 tournament and England's victory at Wembley in 2022. Each answer is followed by an explanation, with details such as final scores, venues or the significance of a first title. Whether you remember the matches or mainly recognise the names, the appeal lies in connecting those familiar moments into a clearer picture of women's football history.

What you will learn

Place the first official FIFA Women's World Cup in China in 1991 and identify the United States as its winner.
Recall Spain's 1–0 win over England in the 2023 World Cup final and England's 2–1 extra-time victory over Germany at Euro 2022.
Connect Brazil's Marta with 17 World Cup goals and Norway's Ada Hegerberg with the first Ballon d'Or Féminin in 2018.
Distinguish France's hosting role in 2019 from the Australia–New Zealand partnership in 2023, the first edition with 32 teams.

Frequently asked questions

Does this quiz cover only the Women's World Cup?: No. Alongside World Cup hosts, champions and records, it covers the first Ballon d'Or Féminin in 2018 and England's Euro 2022 victory over Germany at Wembley.
Which individual players are the focus of questions?: Two questions focus on Marta and Ada Hegerberg. One asks which country Marta represents; the other asks who received the first Ballon d'Or Féminin. Their explanations highlight Marta's 17 World Cup goals and Hegerberg's Norwegian nationality and connection to Lyon.
What do the explanations add to the tournament questions?: They supply context beyond the correct choice. For example, the 2019 host question explains that the United States beat the Netherlands 2–0 in the final in Lyon, while the 2023 hosting explanation notes the first 32-team edition and first joint hosting.
