Scotland national football team home stadium in Glasgow. This venue was used for four Scotland matches between then and 1876. The next venue to be used was the first Hampden Park, home of Queen's Park. It hosted the first ever Scottish Cup Final in 1874 and a Scotland v England match in 1878. Queen's Park left this site in 1883 because of a proposal to extend the Cathcart District Railway line through the site. Queen's Park then moved to a second Hampden Park, which hosted internationals between 1885 and 1890. The first match hosted outside Glasgow was at Hibernian Park in Edinburgh on 10 March 1888.
Wales national football team home stadium was immediately assigned as the new home venue for Welsh football matches, hosting its first match on 29 March 2000 against Finland which, due to the increased capacity of the new stadium, set a new attendance record for a Wales international match of 65,614. However, by the end of the decade the ground had seen a dramatic drop in attendances for international matches due to the progress of the Welsh side in qualifying competitions which led to calls from several senior figures in Welsh football, including national team manager John Toshack and players such as Jason Koumas and Craig Bellamy,
