Scottish Football Museum
The Scottish Football Museum is one of Glasgow’s many cultural attractions. It is located on the grounds of Scotland’s main stadium, the Hampden Park Sports Arena. The museum was founded in 1914, and at present it has 14 exhibition halls with about 2500 exhibits.
The most notable and valuable pieces are the ticket for the first international match between England and Scotland, dating back to 1872, and the National Cup, which is the oldest football trophy in the world, made in 1873. The World Cup, played between Renton and West Bromwich Albion in 1888, also attracts visitors. Two halls of the Museum are dedicated to portraits of members of the local national team honours list and the Scottish Football Hall of Fame.
The Scottish Football Museum is part of the sports stadium and does not have a separate building. A wide staircase leads up to its entrance, which ends in glass doors. It’s a great place for an informative family holiday.
