Supporters could be allowed to purchase alcohol at a Scotland national team friendly later this year under a trial to ease the ban on alcohol sales inside stadia. The Scottish FA confirmed the trial could take place during a friendly in March or June, ahead of the World Cup; Scotland will host Japan on 28 March and Curacao on 30 May. The proposal would permit alcohol sales in stadium concourses only, with no allowance for taking drinks back to seats. Similar trial sales have been conducted at league matches this season. The general sale of alcohol inside Scottish stadia has been banned since 1981 following a riot after a Scottish Cup final.
