Sporrans Cleared for World Cup Fans!
25 Feb
Summary
- Fans can now wear sporrans with kilts at World Cup matches.
- Sporrans were initially rejected due to strict stadium bag rules.
- Scotland faces Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil in the tournament.

The Tartan Army has received approval to wear sporrans with their kilts at World Cup matches. This decision comes after thousands of Scottish supporters are expected to travel to the US to support the national team.
Initially, sporrans did not meet the strict stadium bag criteria set by FIFA. However, after negotiations between the governing body and the Scottish Football Association, it was agreed that fans would be permitted to wear them, subject to standard security checks.
Scotland's matches will be held in Boston and Miami, where they will face Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil. The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19 across 16 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico, featuring an expanded 48 teams.
A spokesperson for the SFA confirmed that FIFA has sanctioned sporrans, emphasizing ongoing collaboration to ensure matchday staff are prepared. The Scottish FA continues to engage with tournament hosts to ensure a welcoming environment for Scotland fans.
