Scotland's World Cup scheduled confirmed as dates, venues + kick-off times for Group Stage games announced
Steve Clarke’s side will face Brazil, Morocco and Haiti in Group C after the World Cup draw was held on Friday
Scotland have discovered where, when and at what time they will be playing their three Group Stage games at next summer’s World Cup finals in North America.
Steve Clarke’s side were drawn against Brazil, Morocco and Haiti in Group C on Friday and FIFA have now confirmed all the details of the match schedules — including kick-off times and venues.
And large swathes of the Tartan Army will be thrilled to learn the Scots’ first two matches will be played at the same stadium in Boston, eliminating some significant travelling stress.
Scotland’s World Cup scheduled in full:
Match 1 - Scotland vs Haiti will be hosted at the Gillette Stadium in Boston on Saturday, June 13 at 9pm EST - (2am UK time on June 14)
Match 2 - Scotland v Morocco will be played on Friday, June 19 and will also be at Boston's Gillette Stadium, taking place at 6pm EST - (11pm UK time)
Match 3 - Scotland vs Brazil will be staged on Wednesday, June 24 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami at 6pm EST - (11pm UK time)
Scotland fans who will follow the tournament from back home will be disappointed that all three matches will be played at such a late time of night. TV broadcast selections will be announced in due course.
The Gillette Stadium in Boston has a capacity of 64,628, while the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami holds 64,767 spectators.
Should Clarke and his players create history by becoming the first Scotland side to advance from the group stages, they have three potential paths.
If Scotland finish top of Group C, they would face the runner-up of Group F - seeded to be Japan - in Houston on Monday, June 29.
If they finish as runners-up, the Scots would face the winner of Group F - seeded to be the Netherlands - in Guadalajara on the same day.
There is a chance that Scotland could also progress as one of EIGHT best third-placed teams. There are three potential outcomes, which will only be confirmed once the identity of the eight nations are known. They are:
1 - Winner of Group E (seeded to be Germany) in Boston on June 29
2 - Winner of Group I (seeded to be France) in New York on Tuesday, June 30
