In recent years, Scotland has become famous for its traveling supporters, known as the Tartan Army, which have won numerous awards from FIFA and UEFA for their combination of rabid support and relaxed nature. The Tartan Army and the roligans of Denmark are often considered the best national team fans in Europe, if not the world.
