Scotland’s Rumoured World Cup Warm-Up Friendly Opponents

According to Stephen McGowan at The Herald, Scotland have lined up two friendlies against the Ivory Coast in March, and Peru in June.

It was widely reported that Scotland would likely face an African side in the March international window, and play at either St James Park in Newcastle, or the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. From the reports, it seems the SFA have opted for Liverpool as their preferred destination.

As for Peru, it seems as if this will be Scotland’s final preparation game, likely to be played in the USA, before kicking off against Haiti on June 13th. Scotland and Peru have played just twice, the last matchup back in 2018, where Peru secured a 2-0 win. A friendly against Japan in March is also rumoured, as well as a likely Hampden send-off against Curaçao in June.
