Greece and Scotland are set to face off in the Nations League play-off for a spot in League A, with the first match taking place on Thursday night (March 20) at Karaiskakis Stadium.
The first Scottish fans have already arrived in Athens, with the majority expected over the next two days. However, their presence will also be marked by a truly commendable initiative.
On Thursday morning, a group of visiting fans will don their kilts and, accompanied by Scottish bagpipes, will visit the Floga Guesthouse to meet the young residents, their families, and staff, handing over a £5,000 check to support the organization’s mission.
The Tartan Army follows Scotland’s national football team in its matches abroad, with members sharing a passion for football and a strong desire to give back.
In 2003, they launched the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, aiming to support a charitable cause in every country they visit while cheering for their team.
To date, they have made 104 donations in 50 different countries, spreading the message that love for their team can also be a force for generosity and solidarity with those fighting their own battles.
