Overview
- Steve Clarke made the final 26-player roster official on Tuesday, May 19, closing Scotland’s selection process for the tournament.
- The squad is led by captain Andy Robertson and midfield talisman Scott McTominay and pairs experienced internationals with young prospects such as 19-year-old Findlay Curtis.
- Southampton striker Ross Stewart earned a surprise recall after four years out of the national team while 19-year-old Lennon Miller was a notable omission.
- Selection was shaped by injury and limited minutes for several forwards and goalkeepers, with Tommy Conway ruled out and Ben Gannon-Doak and Che Adams carrying recent fitness questions; FIFA rules allow replacements only for serious injury up to 24 hours before Scotland’s first match.
- Scotland will play warm-up friendlies on May 30 and June 6 before opening Group C in Boston against Haiti and then facing Morocco and Brazil in Boston and Miami as they bid to progress from the group stage for the first time.
