After 28 years away from the world stage, Scotland is returning to the World Cup. This return to the spotlight will come against the Grenadiers on June 13 in Boston.

When the Grenadiers step onto the field in Boston for their first match of the 2026 World Cup, they will face a team steeped in history. Scotland, nicknamed the “Tartan Army,” is one of the pioneers of international football. In 1872, it played the very first official match between national teams against England.
