All eyes will be on Washington D.C on Friday when the group stage draw for the 2026 World Cup is made.

And in case you hadn’t heard, Scotland and the Tartan Army will be there, after what will be a 28-year absence from football’s most high-profile international competition. The tournament is jointly being held by the USA, Mexico and Canada, with the World Cup heading back to that part of the World since the former held the 1994 edition.

Steve Clarke’s side are in Pot 3 ahead of the 48-team event, and will be hoping to avoid drawing Pot A big guns like Spain. Brazil and reigning World Cup holders Argentina. The multi-nation tournament could make travelling to each of the 16 arenas across North America very difficult, with the different time zones also a huge factor.

But where Scotland go, the Tartan Army will follow, as exemplified by the estimated 200,000 supporters who made the trip to Germany for last year’s European Championship finals. So the three nations better make sure they are stocked up on beer for a Dark Blues invasion.

The Scots will learn just who and where they will be playing on Friday evening. But ahead of the draw, Record Sport has profiled each of the 16 stadiums where Clarke’s side could get the chance to strut their stuff and create more history by becoming the first Scotland team in history to progress from the group stages of the World Cup.
