Frequently asked questions
Why aren't there specific nation names in this grid?
The grid sticks to what every national team shares, the STADIUM, the JERSEY and the match itself, rather than naming individual teams. For country names, try the countries word search.
Are these terms mostly about the tournament hosts?
No. They describe the match on the field, its positions, rules and moments like KICKOFF, so they fit any international tournament.
