Excitement is building for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off tomorrow, June 11. This year marks a historic moment for the Scotland Football Team, as the Tartan Army returns to the summer tournament for the first time in 28 years. Given the long absence, many devoted fans are heading to the United States to support their team.
Alongside the cost of a ticket, supporters must consider transportation, accommodation, and visa expenses. However, one often overlooked cost is food and drink at the stadium. For those traveling to North America, Scotland's first two matches will be held at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts. The first game is against Haiti on June 14, followed by a match against Morocco on June 19.
