Test: Identify if these 25 athletes surpassed the highest-ever transfer fee?
In the world of football, there's always something interesting to learn. Our weekly newsletter brings you a variety of engaging quizzes designed to challenge different aspects of your football knowledge. This week, let's delve into some intriguing facts and trivia.
First up, we have a quiz that will test your knowledge of European football stadiums. Can you name every stadium in Europe with a capacity over 40,000? There's no time limit, so take your time and show off your expertise.
Moving on, let's talk about the prestigious Ballon d'Or. Since 2000, several Brazilian football players have been nominated for this coveted award. Ronaldo Nazário, one of the all-time top Ballon d'Or vote-getters with multiple nominations and wins, is among them. More recently, players like David Luiz, Raphinha, and Estêvão Willian have also been nominated. It's worth noting that Lamine Yamal, a Barcelona player, was nominated in 2025, but he is Spanish, not Brazilian.
Interestingly, no other Brazilian nominees since 2000 are mentioned directly in the provided results. However, notable Brazilians such as Ronaldinho, Kaká, and Neymar have also been Ballon d'Or nominees in this period, although they are not listed in the current search results.
Our quizzes cover a wide range of topics, from the Euros to managerial preferences, Ballon d'Or winners, Paris Saint-Germain, and more. For instance, we have a quiz asking you to name David Moyes' most-played players. There's also the Weekend Crossword 10 waiting for those who enjoy a good puzzle.
Now, let's talk about transfer records. Since 1951, 16 English players have been the most expensive of all time, at one stage or another. Between 1893 and 1951, 20 players broke the world transfer record, with only one of these 20 players not being from England, Scotland, or Wales. No club other than English, Italian, or Spanish has ever broken the transfer record more than once.
Spanish clubs, in particular, have shown a knack for breaking the transfer record ceiling, having done so nine times. Italian clubs have broken the record 18 times, while an English club has done so 19 times.
Lastly, we have a quiz that asks you to name every Ballon d'Or top 10 of the 2000s from a list of 25 players, past and present. Give it a try and see how well you fare!
