Scotland have locked in a final pre‑World Cup friendly against Bolivia, scheduled for Saturday 6 June at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. Kick‑off is set for 21:00 BST and the BBC will carry the match live. The South American side travel to the U.S. after missing the tournament themselves.

Steve Clarke’s side entered the window on the back of 1‑0 losses to Japan and Ivory Coast. Earlier June sees Curacao at Hampden on 30 May, then the Bolivian test, before the group opener versus Haiti on 14 June in Massachusetts. Facing Bolivia mirrors the style of Scotland’s Group C rivals Brazil and Morocco, offering a South American benchmark.

Clarke praised the arrangement, noting Bolivia will give Scotland a taste of South American opposition and a stern test as the visitors rebound from their play‑off disappointment. With two defeats already recorded, the match presents a chance to fine‑tune tactics ahead of the tournament. Scotland will finish their warm‑up schedule on American soil this weekend.

Supporters in New Jersey will gather at the modest venue, while Scottish fans tune in from home via the BBC’s live service. A solid performance could restore confidence after the early setbacks and set a tone for the group stage. Scotland’s preparation now hinges on translating the lessons from this South American test into results in Qatar.
