Scottish Fans Win Boston’s Heart as Mayor Plans Sister City Partnership
The partnership aims to deepen cultural and economic ties as more than 20,000 Scotland supporters are believed to have traveled for the tournament.
- On Thursday, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu signed a letter of intent to formally twin Boston with Glasgow, Scotland, following the influx of soccer fans for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- Roughly 50,000 Scottish supporters, known as the Tartan Army, traveled to Greater Boston for the tournament, boosting the local economy and endearing themselves to residents by cleaning up after celebrations.
- Wu thanked the fans for "making our city come alive," while British Consul General to New England David Clay noted the bond between the two cities has been "brilliant."
- Leaders will formalize the sister-city agreement when Glasgow's Lord Provost, Jacqueline McLaren, visits Boston next April for "Tartan Day."
- Building on longstanding ties between Scotland and the United States, the partnership positions both cities to collaborate on future initiatives ranging from sustainability to public health and cultural exchange.
