Scots in New England · FIFA World Cup 2026

The Tartan Army is Coming to Boston

Scotland are back where they belong. After an agonizing 28-year absence, the national team has qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup - and for Scots in New England, this is a moment to cherish.

Two of Scotland's three Group C matches will be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. This is the best opportunity in a generation to cheer on the dark blues.

Let's make sure the Tartan Army's roar is heard from Foxborough to Falmouth.
