When England and Scotland get together to commemorate what the FIFA regarded as the first international match in history, they do so in Glasgow’s “Hameden Park” on the 150th anniversary of the competition.
Gareth Southgate, head coach of the English national team, said: “Any encounter with Scotland is always special, and I anticipate that this occasion will be excellent while celebrating an important memory.”
The No. 1 conflict will be that one.
116 between the two teams, as their most recent matchup was on June 18 of last year during the “Euro 2020” tournaments in Group D at the “Wembley” stadium, and the outcome was a scoreless draw, which was also the outcome of their first-ever encounter.
The Scottish national team’s coach, Steve Clark, stated: “I shall be happy to lead our squad in Hamden Park as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of our national game. This match is registered as the first international match in the history of the game.”
