Football experienced a meteoric growth, and by the start of the 20th century it had become Scotland's most popular spectator sport. The SFA and the English FA, together with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) and the Irish Football Association (IFA), set up the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in 1886 to monitor the laws of the game.

Scotland are the joint oldest national football team in the world, alongside England, whom they played in the world's first international football match in 1872. Scotland team have qualified for the FIFA World Cup on eight occasions and the UEFA European Football Championship twice, but have never progressed beyond the first group stage of a finals tournament. Scotland is not a member of the International Olympic Committee and do not compete in the Olympic Games.
Scottish players and coaches have exported their talents successfully to many parts of the world, most notably to England. Players such as Denis Law, Billy Bremner and Kenny Dalglish, and coaches Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Sir Alex Ferguson, have all made a substantial and lasting impact on the game in England. The first professionals were Scottish 'professors' in the 1870s, brought to England to raise footballing standards, and Scots have continued to play a key role in the sport's development south of the border.
