Scotland fans given all-clear to wear their sporrans at World Cup matches

• Fifa to allow traditional Highland accessory into grounds

• Tournament rules only permit certain types of bags

Scotland fans have been given the all-clear to wear their sporrans at the team’s matches at the 2026 World Cup.

Tournament rules only permitted certain types of bags into stadiums, and the pouch traditionally worn by Scots at the front of their kilt was deemed too large to meet the strict criteria.
