Scotland have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking their first appearance at the tournament since 1998. The achievement ends a 28-year wait and six unsuccessful qualifying campaigns, bringing relief to a nation long starved of World Cup football.
Head coach Steve Clarke, who previously led Scotland to the finals of Euro 2020 and Euro 2024, will guide the team at this summer's tournament. Scotland have never advanced beyond the group stage at a World Cup, and will aim to make history by reaching the knockout rounds for the first time.
Clarke has selected a 26-man squad for the tournament. Among the notable details, one player's mother is Australian and his brother Kyle could represent the Socceroos this summer. All squad statistics are accurate as of 9 June.
