Football is the most popular sport in Scotland and is the country's national sport. The modern style of football was developed in Scotland and was spread throughout the world.
League football in Scotland
League football in Scotland is split between the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League. Beneath these leagues is a system of regional amateur leagues.
Cup competitions
Scottish Cup
The Scottish Cup is one of the world's oldest national cup competitions, first contested in 1873. It is open to any club affiliated with the SFA, and is a pure knockout tournament with single matches; replays are held if the first match is a tie. The final is played at Hampden Park.
Scottish League Cup
The Scottish League Cup is open to members of the SPL (Scottish Premier League) and SFL (Scottish Football League), and has been contested since 1947.
Scottish League Challenge Cup
The Scottish League Challenge Cup is open to members of the SFL, and has been contested since 1990.
National team
The Scotland national team hosted the first international match in football history against England, a 0-0 draw in 1872, with whom they've enjoyed a long-standing rivalry. Scotland won the British Home Championship 41 times (24 outright), and qualified for 8 World Cups and 2 European Championships, but have never progressed beyond the first round.They are sometimes known as the best team never to win a World Cup and have frustrated their fans many times by getting knocked out of World Cups by goal difference. The national team's supporters, dubbed the Tartan Army are well-known for their vocal but also good-natured behaviour.
