The Scottish Football Association has confirmed the Lithuania V Scotland game will be played in Kaunas. The game will be played in the S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno Stadium on Friday 3rd September 2010. Kick off time has still to be confirmed, but will be in the evening.
Scotland have played twice in that ground. In 2003 they lost 1-0 and in 2007 won 2-1. the game in 2003 was recently voted the second coldest Scotland game - the coldest game was voted as the previous days Under 21 game in Vilnius.
The stadium is rather small, with a capacity of 9,180. Normally visiting fans would only be eligible for 918 seats but the SFA have managed to negotiate 2,800 tickets. It's likely that anybody on more than 1 point will be eligible for a ticket.
The SFA have also pointed out that unauthorised agencies have been offering tickets to the match as part of travel packages. The SFA and Lithuanian football federation cannot guarantee this allocation.
