Boston, Glasgow Announce Partnership After Trending Videos of Scotland Fans at 2026 World Cup

Boston is embracing the influx of soccer fans arriving for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by becoming formally connected to Scotland.

Mayor Michelle Wu announced Thursday that Boston will officially become sister cities with Glasgow.

Wu wore a pink Scotland jersey at the signing, during which she joined in on fans' "No Scotland, no party" chant.

The Scottish men's national team opened World Cup play with a 1-0 win against Haiti last Saturday in Foxborough. The squad is set to return to the stadium Friday for a match against Morocco.

Some Scottish fans have spent parts of the five days between the matches celebrating their team's World Cup-opening victory in Boston.

Scotland's fan base was an audible presence at Fenway Park during a Tuesday game between the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers.

World Cup play will now continue for Scotland against a Moroccan squad looking to earn their first win of the tournament after playing Brazil to a 1-1 draw last Saturday in New Jersey.

The Tartan Army will be expected to be in attendance when the Group C matchup kicks off Friday at 6 p.m. ET.
