Scotland confirm a friendly against Bolivia in Harrison, New Jersey on 6 June as their final warm-up game before this summer's World Cup finals.

Scotland's final preparations for this summer's World Cup are now set. The national team has confirmed a friendly against Bolivia on Saturday, June 6th at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, with the match broadcast live on BBC.

This fixture serves as the last tune-up before Scotland's tournament opener against Haiti on June 14th in Massachusetts. It follows recent friendlies against Japan and Ivory Coast, and a home match against Curaçao on May 30th.

Facing Bolivia provides a crucial tactical opportunity for Steve Clarke's squad. With Brazil in their World Cup group, this match offers a valuable chance to experience South American opposition firsthand. Bolivia, ranked 76th in the world, may have missed out on qualification after a playoff loss to Iraq, but they finished a respectable seventh in the tough CONMEBOL qualifying group, even securing a notable 1-0 win over Brazil.

Head Coach Steve Clarke emphasized the importance of the test, stating, "Bolivia will provide us with a feel for South American opposition and will no doubt give us a stern test." This match completes a strategic series of friendlies designed to mirror the styles of their Group C opponents: Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti.

For fans, it's the final chance to see the squad in action before the global stage, offering a last glimpse of form and tactics. As the countdown to the World Cup intensifies, all eyes will be on New Jersey to see if Scotland can build momentum and fine-tune their game plan against a motivated Bolivian side.
