Scotland eliminated from World Cup

Scotland's journey in the 2026 World Cup has come to an end after the team failed to qualify for the knockout stages. The elimination occurred on Saturday, following the conclusion of the group matches.

The Scottish team finished with one win and two defeats. Their sole victory came against Haiti in their opening match, but subsequent losses to Morocco and a decisive defeat against Brazil sealed their fate. Scotland's absence from the World Cup had spanned 28 years, making their return a highly anticipated event.

Their hopes of advancing were further dashed by the results in Group L, where Croatia secured a 2-1 victory over Ghana. This outcome meant Scotland could not progress as one of the best third-placed teams, despite their efforts.

The dejected expressions of Scotland's fans at the Miami Stadium captured the disappointment of the tournament's end for the national team. The team now departs the competition, unable to build on their long-awaited return to the global stage.
