"fans' carers - who were granted free admission to the 2022 World Cup - had to pay for a match ticket without any guarantee they would be seated together."
"It works out for each game we are getting six wheelchair spaces and six carers and three ambulant spaces and three carers."
"It works out to be 2% of wheelchair spaces within the stadium that will be available to Scotland supporters. "It is simply not good enough.""
"In my view Scotland supporters should be given 5.7% of wheelchair spaces available at least."
Confirmed allocations for Scotland matches in the 65,000-capacity Miami stadium allocate six wheelchair spaces and six carers plus three ambulant spaces and three carers per game. The stadium contains 300 wheelchair spaces overall, meaning the Scotland share represents about 2% of those wheelchair spaces while non-disabled ticket allocation is around 5.7%. Carers are required to pay for match tickets, with no guarantee of being seated alongside the disabled supporter. Allocation numbers were finalised very close to the ticket application deadline. Scotland qualified for the World Cup and faces Brazil, Morocco and Haiti in the group stage.
