Fanzones are to be set up in two venues in North Ayrshire for Euro 2024 where football matches from Germany will be shown live.
Tartan Army supporters who aren't making the journey to Germany will be able to gather to watch Scotland's games against the host nation, Switzerland and Hungary at Vikingar! in Largs and The Portal in Irvine.
A range of supporting events are also taking place including a walking football tournament and eight weeks of Euro-themed sessions in all football and mini-kickers classes.
The fanzone plan was revealed in response to a question by Conservative councillor Todd Ferguson to North Ayrshire Council today.
He asked council leader Marie Burns what plans the council had to help supporters enjoy the tournament back home.
Ms Burns responded: "North Ayrshire welcomes the success of our men’s national football team in qualifying for the Euro 24 tournament and wishes them every success.
"KA Leisure will offer dedicated “fanzone” promoted areas within the Portal and Vikingar! which will show the games live.”
"Officers are engaging with the SFA regarding any support that they can provide to help ensure maximum benefit from the tournament, including encouraging the uptake of physical activity across as many sections of our communities as possible.
"Our colleagues at KA Leisure also are planning a range of events to mark the occasion.
"Current plans include eight weeks of Euro-themed sessions in all football and mini-kickers classes; rebranding of the football festivals offered by KA Leisure and our active schools team to offer a themed event to all schools, with the finals being held just before the tournament starts; themed football memories sessions across North Ayrshire; a walking football festival at the Circuit; summer holiday football camps and a street soccer tournament for young people ages 12 – 18.
"The Active Schools team will use their social media channels to encourage young people to support the national team, and promote the opportunities to get involved in local boys and girls clubs."
Councillor Ferguson said the fanzones were 'good news' for North Ayrshire.
He also asked the council leader if some provision could be made to ensure fans on Cumbrae and Arran are not overlooked; Cllr Burns said she would look into the matter.
