The World Cup of Gingers gets underway with Groups A–D, bringing together some of the most iconic, recognisable and unforgettable redheads ever assembled.

From royalty like Prince Harry to cult favourites like Crazy Ginger Cabbie, from childhood institution Ronald McDonald to modern internet names like Angry Ginge, this opening episode wastes no time throwing serious contenders into the mix.

We also get into global figures like J.K. Rowling, sporting names such as Oliver Kahn, music icons like Mick Hucknall, and plenty more ginger representatives from sport, TV, music and complete chaos.

Some feel like nailed-on favourites. Others spark debates no one saw coming. And as always, once the arguments start, logic doesn’t last long.

The criteria is loose — fame, impact, recognisability, legacy and pure ginger presence all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress.

This is where the tournament begins — and it only gets more ridiculous from here.
