Why play in Edinburgh?
Playing a 'friendly' in Edinburgh, Scotland, rather than their home cities, allows teams like Everton and Newcastle to broaden their appeal and potentially attract new fans. It's also a chance for players to experience different environments and for the club to generate extra revenue from ticket sales and merchandise in a new market.
