What you need to know: Haiti and Scotland open FIFA World Cup at Boston Stadium
Haiti is making its first appearance in the tournament since 1974. Scotland is back for the first time since 1998.
Haiti has never earned a World Cup point. Scotland will have a big boost as it attempts to earn its first point since drawing with Norway in 1998.
Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, whose overhead kick in a win over Denmark in November sealed the Tartan Army’s World Cup qualification, is expected to be available after dealing with an illness.
Following his team’s disappointing showings at the 2020 and 2024 European Championships, coach Steve Clarke said this group isn’t satisfied with just making it to another major tournament.
Haiti vs. Scotland kicks off at 9 p.m. The game airs on FOX/Boston 25 News.
