Scottish Football Museum

Scottish Football Museum

The Scottish Football Museum is the Scottish Football Association's National Museum of football, located in Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Museum

The museum houses over 2000 objects of football memorabilia, including the world's oldest cap and match ticket, from the first official international football match of 1872; and the world's oldest national trophy, the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, which was made in 1873. Although the Football Association competition is older (established during the 1871-1872 season), its original cup has been lost.

Visitors can also see The Championship of the World Trophy: in 1888 Renton of Dunbartonshire, the Scottish Cup holders, beat West Bromwich Albion, the FA Cup winners, in a match dubbed as the ‘Championship of the United Kingdom and the World'. In appalling weather Renton won 4-1.
