Scotland women's national football team

January 01, 1970

The Scotland women's national football team represents Scotland in international women's football competitions. Since 1998, the team has been governed by the Scottish Football Association (SFA). Scotland qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time in 2019, and for their first UEFA Women's Championship in 2017. As of June 2023, the team was placed 23rd in the FIFA Women's World Rankings. Although most national football teams represent a sovereign state, as a member of the United Kingdom's Home Nations, Scotland is permitted by FIFA statutes to maintain its own national side that competes in all major tournaments, with the exception of the Women's Olympic Football Tournament.

History edit

Church documents recorded women playing football in Carstairs, Lanarkshire, in 1628.[11] Scotland first played a women's international match in May 1881.[11] Women's football struggled for recognition during this early period and was banned by the football authorities in 1921.[11] Club sides who were interested in using their grounds for women's football were subsequently denied permission by the Scottish Football Association (SFA).[11] The sport continued on an unofficial basis until the 1970s, when the ban was lifted.[11] In 1971 UEFA instructed its members to take control of women's football within their territories. The motion was passed 31–1, but Scotland was the only member to vote against it.[12] Football in Scotland has traditionally been seen as a working class and male preserve.[13]

Scotland's first official match, a 3–2 defeat to England, took place in November 1972.[6][7][8] The team was managed by Rab Stewart. The 1921 ban on women's football was lifted in 1974, and the SFA assumed direct responsibility for Scottish women's football in 1998.[13] Scotland have participated in most international competitions since the ban was removed. The team's standing has improved significantly in recent years, reaching an all-time high of 19th place in the FIFA Women's World Rankings in March 2014.[5][14][15] They reached their first major tournament finals when they qualified for UEFA Women's Euro 2017.[16]

The team followed this up by qualifying for their first World Cup finals tournament in 2019.[17] Following their qualification, the Scottish Government announced they would provide funding to allow all the players to train full-time in the lead up to the World Cup, a welcome announcement as several players do not play professionally.[18] Their final home match (against Jamaica) before the 2019 World Cup saw a record attendance for the national team of 18,555.[19] Claire Emslie scored Scotland's first World Cup goal, netting in a 2–1 defeat against England on 9 June.[20] After losing their second game, 2–1 against Japan, Scotland needed to win their third game against Argentina to qualify for the last 16 as a third-placed team.[21] They appeared to be heading for qualification when they took a 3–0 lead, but they conceded three late goals to draw 3–3 and exited at the group stage.[21]

Three consecutive 1–0 defeats in qualification (two by Finland and one by Portugal) prevented Scotland from qualifying for UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[22] Head coach Shelley Kerr, who had guided the team to their appearance at the 2019 World Cup, left her position following this failure.[23]

Pedro Martínez Losa was appointed manager in July 2021, ahead of the first 2023 World Cup qualifiers.[1] The team failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup, losing a playoff final to the Republic of Ireland.[24]

In December 2022 the players, led by team captain Rachel Corsie, instigated a complaint regarding gender inequality of pay and treatment by the SFA.[25][26] Although the players are not employed directly by the SFA, they are paid out of a "player appearance pot".[26] The case was settled in September 2023, before an employment tribunal was due to start its proceedings.[27][28]

Home stadium edit

 
Ravenscraig Stadium hosted the first official match played by the Scotland women's team, in November 1972.

The first official match played by the Scotland women's team was hosted by the Ravenscraig Stadium, an athletics facility in Greenock.[6][7] Until 2020 the team normally played its home games at (men's) club stadiums around the country. Venues used included Fir Park in Motherwell, Tynecastle Park and Easter Road in Edinburgh, and St Mirren Park in Paisley.[29][30]

Hampden Park in Glasgow is the traditional home of the men's national team and is described by the Scottish Football Association as the National Stadium.[31] A Scotland women's international was played at Hampden for the first time in October 2012, when it hosted the first leg of a European Championship qualifying playoff against Spain.[32] Earlier in 2012, Hampden had hosted matches in the Olympic women's football tournament. In May 2019 the team attracted a record attendance for a women's football match in Scotland, when 18,555 were present at Hampden for a World Cup warm-up friendly with Jamaica.[19] In July 2021 the SFA announced that all of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification home matches would be played at Hampden, making it the regular home ground.[33]

Media coverage edit

Scotland women's internationals have been televised by BBC Alba and broadcast by BBC Radio Scotland.[34] BBC Radio Scotland presenter Tam Cowan was temporarily taken off the air in 2013, after he criticised the use of Fir Park for women's internationals in his Daily Record column.[29] In a November 2013 interview with The Independent newspaper, Laura Montgomery of Glasgow City FC suggested that media coverage of women's football in Scotland often reflected sexist and misogynist attitudes. This is due to a preponderance of "stupid male journalists", according to Montgomery.[35]

Olympic Games edit

Main article: Great Britain women's Olympic football team

At the Olympic Games the International Olympic Committee charter only permit a Great Britain team, representing the whole of the United Kingdom, to compete.[52] As London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics, a Great Britain team was entered and two Scotland players (Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke) were selected for the squad.[53][54]

The FA indicated in June 2013 that they would be prepared to run women's teams at future Olympic tournaments, subject to one of the home nations meeting the qualification criteria (i.e. being one of the top three European nations at the Women's World Cup).[55] Following objections from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish football associations, and a commitment from FIFA that they would not allow entry of a British team unless all four Home Nations agreed, the FA said they would not seek entry into the 2016 tournament.[56]

In October 2018, an agreement was reached between the four associations ahead of the 2020 tournament, and qualification was secured by England reaching the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup;[57] Kim Little and Caroline Weir were the Scottish players selected for the squad.[58]

England's performance in the Nations League determined whether Great Britain would qualify for the 2024 Olympics.[59] England and Scotland were drawn in the same Nations League group, which created a potential conflict of interest for the Scottish players.[59] The teams met in the last game of the group, when a 6–0 win for England was insufficient to keep Olympic qualification hopes alive.[60]

Olympic Games edit Main article Great Britain women s Olympic football team At the Olympic Games the International Olympic Committee charter only permit a Great Britain team representing the whole of the United Kingdom to compete 52 As London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics a Great Britain team was entered and two Scotland players Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke were selected for the squad 53 54 The FA indicated in June 2013 that they would be prepared to run women s teams at future Olympic tournaments subject to one of the home nations meeting the qualification criteria i e being one of the top three European nations at the Women s World Cup 55 Following objections from the Scottish Welsh and Northern Irish football associations and a commitment from FIFA that they would not allow entry of a British team unless all four Home Nations agreed the FA said they would not seek entry into the 2016 tournament 56 In October 2018 an agreement was reached between the four associations ahead of the 2020 tournament and qualification was secured by England reaching the semi finals of the 2019 World Cup 57 Kim Little and Caroline Weir were the Scottish players selected for the squad 58 England s performance in the Nations League determined whether Great Britain would qualify for the 2024 Olympics 59 England and Scotland were drawn in the same Nations League group which created a potential conflict of interest for the Scottish players 59 The teams met in the last game of the group when a 6 0 win for England was insufficient to keep Olympic qualification hopes alive 60 European
