Due to updated intelligence and following extensive security consultations with all key parties, the Scottish FA regrets to confirm that the forthcoming UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 qualifier between Scotland and Israel at Hampden Park on May 31 will now be played behind closed doors.

The away fixture, due to be played in Hungary on June 4, will also be played behind closed doors.

The stadium operations team were alerted to the potential for planned disruptions to the match and as a consequence we have no option but to play the match without supporters in attendance.

Measures are in place to provide an automatic and full refund to those supporters who have already purchased tickets for this match.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the decision but the safety of supporters, players, team staff and officials is of paramount importance.

Very interesting turn of events. Will they receive the same vitriol Rangers FC received after having to make the woman's OF game closed doors? Stay tuned.

At least they’re going to play. No posturing or flouncing out.
