What is Scottish football doing for the 150th and 200th
anniversaries of international football?
The first international soccer match was between Scotland
and England in 1872, in Glasgow Scotland.
That means the 150th anniversary of international
football will be in 2022.
The 200th anniversary will be in 2072.
Scotland should play a 150th anniversary against
England in 2022, in Glasgow, Scotland.
The game could get a lot of media attention.
Hopefully fans will be allowed back in stadiums by then. But even if it has to be played at an empty
stadium, the game should go ahead.,
If Scotland do not qualify for the 2022 World Cup, then
Scotland should host a mini tournament for teams that did not qualify, for the
World Cup, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of international
football.
It could be called the 150 International Cup.
Plus this is when my ideas get a bit eccentric.
Surely Scotland should have hosted the 2022 World Cup as it
would have been the 150th anniversary of the first international
soccer game,
But as we can’t do that. Scotland should be marked down to
host the 2072 World Cup Final.
Imagine it in 51 years time Scotland hosting the World Cup
Final.
With Scotland guaranteed qualification.
By that time there will probably be teams from Mars, and the
Moon taking part.
The climate of Scotland might be boiling hot by then, due to
global warming.
But seriously Scotland should do something big to celebrate
the 150th anniversary of international football.
In 2023 it will be the
150th anniversary of England’s first home international. So perhaps
Scotland could play England at Wembley in that year?
FIFA and UEFA should make sure Scotland and England
celebrate the 150th and 200th anniversary of
international football.
Perhaps there could be s combined Great Britain teams
against a Rest of the World team, played at Hampden.
Also Wales could play in 2026 against Scotland, for the 150th anniversary off Wales first international game which was against Scotland in 1876.
