Thousands of Scotland supporters filled downtown Boston and the Gillette Stadium fan zone in Foxborough, Massachusetts, loudly singing "Flower of Scotland" ahead of Scotland’s World Cup match against Haiti. Haiti supporters matched the atmosphere downtown with Carnival-style drumming, dancing, and flags as Haiti made its first World Cup appearance since 1974. Bagpipes, kilts, and blue-and-white flags turned fan areas into a distinctly Scottish scene while vendors and local landmarks joined the show. The contrast between Scotland’s raucous support and Haiti’s Carnival energy underscored the World Cup’s global reach and raised the stakes for both teams in a rare U.S.-hosted matchup.
