Adding a touch of Scottish tradition, a group of fans will wear kilts and perform live music, accompanied by bagpipes.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative is part of the Tartan Army, a dedicated supporters\u2019 group that follows Scotland\u2019s national team in international matches. Beyond their love for soccer, members share a deep commitment to charitable giving.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, they launched the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, pledging to support a charitable cause in every country they visit. To date, they have made 104 donations across 50 different countries, proving that passion for soccer can be a powerful force for generosity and solidarity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/in-depth\/society-in-depth\/1264535\/scottish-fans-donate-to-greek-childrens-charity\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Shutterstock] A donation of \u00a35,000 will be made to Floga, an association of parents of children with neoplastic disease, by Scottish soccer fans visiting Athens for their national team\u2019s upcoming match against Greece.
