The Tartan Army are travelling supporters of the Scottish national football team. They were named the World's Friendliest Fans during the 1998 World Cup[citation needed], and have won awards over the years from both FIFA and UEFA for their combination of enthusiastic support and friendly nature.[1]

Countries drawn against Scotland often welcome the arrival of their fans.[2] Scotland away matches are generally accompanied by a low level of policing due to their good behaviour over the years.[citation needed]
