The World Cup only takes place every four years, meaning any player who makes 15 or more appearances in the competition boasts impressive longevity. Eighty-seven players have managed the feat but how many of them can you name?

Making it to the World Cup is one of the greatest honours in football but being invited back on multiple occasions is the mark of a true all-time great.

As you’d expect, the list is dominated by players from the most successful countries, including Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany and Italy.

That doesn’t make naming all of those players any easier though; we’ve given just the country and the number of appearances as clues.

We’ve given you 20 minutes to get them all and the score to beat from the Planet Football office is 87/100 – but we’re sure loads of you will be able to match our tally. At least.
