Moira Brown, a 93-year-old Scottish soccer fan, is attending the 2026 World Cup in the United States, her fourth in person. She has followed Scotland since childhood and waited nearly 30 years for the team to qualify again.

- Brown, born in 1932, attended her first match with her father in the 1930s. - She has tickets to all three of Scotland's group stage matches, near Boston and Miami.

- Scotland last qualified for the World Cup in 1998; fans call their history 'glorious failure.' - Brown hopes Scotland advances past the group stage for the first time ever. Despite her age, Brown remains an active, spirited fan, traveling light and enjoying the camaraderie of the Tartan Army.
