Scotland will be making their debut at the FIFA Women's World Cup in France and will be hoping to leave their mark.

What is Scotland's history in the FIFA Women's World Cup?

Scotland does not boast an excellent record in the FIFA Women's World Cup. In fact, this is the very first time that they have qualified for this coveted tournament.

This European outfit did not enter the inaugural Women's World Cup qualification and failed to earn a ticket in four separate attempts. France 2019 will see them make their debut; however, whether they can go far remains unlikely.

Who are the key players to watch for Scotland at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup?

All eyes will be on Kim Little. She is considered as one of the best in the women's sport but this will be only her first major tournament with her national team. She represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and injury robbed her of a spot in the 2017 Women's Euro. France 2019 will be her chance to make a mark on the international scene with Scotland.

Who is Scotland's coach?

Shelley Kerr is the woman in charge. A former Scotland captain herself, the 49-year-old succeeded Anna Signeul after her 12-year reign. The former U-19 and Arsenal manager was the ideal candidate for the job and has now guided her nation to their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup appearance.
