Hollywood star Matt Damon has praised Scottish football fans, describing their presence in Boston during the 2026 FIFA World Cup as "great". The 55-year-old Oscar winner said he enjoyed hearing the stories of Scottish fans as they arrived for the Scotland and Morocco match in the Massachusetts city. Scottish supporters flocked last month to the United States, Canada and Mexico, the tournament's host nations, and it was Scotland's first World Cup qualification in 28 years. However, their journey ended early when Croatia defeated Ghana 2–1, leading to Scotland's early exit.

Appearing on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", Damon warmly applauded the Scottish fans, who attracted much attention in Boston for his enthusiasm and unique 'patter'. He said, "Scottish fans in Boston. It was one of my favorite stories at the World Cup. It was so amazing. I heard some Scots were outside a liquor store, and a lady went in and bought a bottle of water and they booed her. It was amazing."

Damon, who grew up in Massachusetts, noted the connection he felt immediately from locals: "I heard we immediately declared ourselves sister cities with a city in Scotland. We just knew – 'Oh yes, you guys are just like us.'" The actor, who is married to Argentinian film producer Luciana Barroso, also talked about celebrating Argentina's thrilling semi-final win over England. "We scared our dogs a lot. Our dogs hid, they didn't know what was going on – it was a pretty rough house," he said.

Damon joked that his British co-star Tom Holland and director Sir Christopher Nolan were angry at the England national football team's defeat. "A lot of people are not talking (to me) today," he said. Damon praised Harry Kane's team, saying, "They reached the semi-finals twice, they had some great runs. Then they fell to Argentina." The award-winning actor and his wife were seen at the knockout World Cup final on Sunday, where Spain won 1-0 over Argentina in extra time. Damon is best known for his breakthrough role in "Good Will Hunting", which he co-wrote with his friend and co-star Ben Affleck. His extensive filmography includes "The Martian", "The Departed" and the action-packed "Jason Boren" franchise.

What will happen next

Scottish fans are now excited about their country's football journey, even though their World Cup journey ended early. In the future, Scotland will need to improve their team's performance and prepare for the next tournament. Meanwhile, Damon's appreciation in Boston is likely to spark a new energy among local football fans.
