Campaigners have launched an effort to secure part of the site of First Hampden in Glasgow after the land was listed for rent, the Guardian reported on Sunday. The group aims to transform the location into a community hub. [1]
The ground served as the original home of the Scotland national football team after they moved to the venue in 1878, according to the Guardian. Scotland won every match that they played at the venue, which became known as a tartan fortress. [1]
The Guardian reported that First Hampden is widely regarded as the world's first purpose-built international football stadium. The site is located in south Glasgow, about half a mile from where the current Hampden Park stands today. [1]
As FTMQ News reported earlier, the Scotland national football team recently secured a two to zero playoff victory against the Czech Republic in Pardubice, following a World Cup campaign where the men's side scored a single goal courtesy of John McGinn. [6][7]
