Scotland women to host Switzerland in Dunfermline

In Dunfermline, the home town of Caroline Weir, Scotland will play a friendly against Switzerland in the month of February.

In the second of two friendlies in October, Melissa Andreatta’s Scotland side will face the Swiss at East End Park, with the venue and opponent yet to be announced.

On Tuesday, October 28th, at 19:30 GMT, the Scots, who finished last in Group A1 earlier this year, will face Switzerland.

Weir, who has 112 caps and is the first female Scot to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or, will have the opportunity to represent her country in her hometown.

The Scots will use the friendly windows from October and November to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign, which kicks off in February.

Scotland hasn’t qualified for any of its previous three major tournaments, most recently losing out to Finland in the play-offs last December.
