Is Scotland vs Haiti on…

Scotland kicks off their journey in
their first World Cup since 1998 against
Haiti, with supporters already envisioning a third-place finish that could lead them to the knockout stage.

Five-time champions Brazil and the recently crowned African Cup of Nations winners Morocco, who were both in Scotland’s last World Cup group 28 years ago, are expected to secure the top two qualification spots from
Group C.

However, anything can occur in tournament play, and Steve Clarke’s squad will seek to exploit any errors—first needing to overcome Haiti, who are ranked 40 places lower and competing in their first World Cup since 1974.

Scotland achieved victories of 4-1 over Curacao and 4-0 against Bolivia in their warm-up matches, despite irritating the Norwegian team by withdrawing from another friendly, labeling them as “unprofessional.” In contrast, Haiti secured a 2-1 win over
New Zealand but faced a late 2-1 defeat against Peru.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Scotland’s match against Haiti kicks off at 2am BST (9pm ET local time) on Sunday, June 14, at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts.
