Scotland fans get FIFA go-ahead to wear sporrans at World Cup
FIFA has confirmed that Scottish fans will be permitted to wear sporrans into stadiums at the 2026 World Cup, following talks with the Scottish Football Association. Sporrans had initially failed to meet strict stadium security criteria on bag size. Scotland will face Haiti and Morocco in Boston, and Brazil in Miami. Without the agreement, fans would have had to leave their sporrans in lockers outside or discard them.
