Hampden Park

Hampden Park is Scotland's national stadium, located in the Mount Florida neighbourhood on the south side of Glasgow. It has hosted the Scottish national team since 1903. Queen's Park FC, the oldest football club in the country, also played there until 2003. In 2025, the ground was officially renamed Barclays Hampden following a naming rights agreement with the banking group Barclays.

For much of the twentieth century it was the largest stadium in the world, and it still holds attendance records, including the 149,415 who attended the Scotland vs England match in 1937. Since modernisation, the all-seated ground holds around 52,000 and continues to host major occasions: Tartan Army internationals, Scottish Cup finals, and large-scale concerts.

The stadium has also staged several European finals, among them the 2002 Champions League final, remembered for Zidane's volley, and the 1960 Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt match, widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever played.

The ground is associated with the Hampden Roar, the surge of noise from the Scottish support that follows players from the tunnel to the pitch.

Stadium tours take visitors behind the scenes: dressing rooms, the tunnel, and the pitch-side area. The tour also includes the Scottish Football Museum, one of the most comprehensive football museums in Europe, housing thousands of artefacts including the original Scottish Cup, the oldest national football trophy in the world.

The nearest rail stations are Mount Florida and King's Park, both a five-minute walk away, with direct trains from Glasgow Central. Several bus routes also serve the area. As Hampden sits in a residential neighbourhood, public transport is the practical choice on match days.
