More than 8,000 Scottish supporters, described as part of the “Tartan Army,” gather at LoanDepot Park in Miami ahead of Scotland’s World Cup group stage match against Brazil. Multiple outlets report that the fans take over the area around South Beach and the ballpark on Monday, drawing large crowds as they travel through the United States for the upcoming game. The gathering is linked to a nearby sports event: the Miami Marlins play the Texas Rangers at LoanDepot Park two days before Scotland faces Brazil. Coverage characterizes the scene as busy and lively as the visiting Scottish supporters attend the baseball matchup during their trip. Both sources frame the fans’ presence as a pre-match build-up for Scotland’s final group stage game, with attention focused on the scale of the turnout and the timing relative to the Scotland-Brazil fixture.
