Primary schools across North Lanarkshire have created flags to celebrate Scotland's World Cup qualification.

Each participating school chose a winning design, which has been turned into a full-sized flag displayed at Broadwood Stadium and Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility.

The initiative is part of the festivities leading up to the World Cup Warm-Up event at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility on Saturday June 13, a family day designed to celebrate Scotland's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

As part of the celebrations, the event team visited Whitelees Primary School in Cumbernauld, where Primary 1 pupils were developing their creations.

Pupils in Primary 6 and 7 also showed off their finished designs, offering an blend of imagination, teamwork, and pride.

The World Cup Warm-Up children's fun day is set to deliver an afternoon of football-themed activities, entertainment, and community celebration.

Though tickets have now sold out, organisers have emphasised that the core of the event is the involvement of local youngsters and the enthusiasm they've displayed in supporting Scotland on the world stage.
