why is scotland game behind closed doors

The Scotland game is being played behind closed doors because Belarus, their opponent, is under UEFA sanctions. These sanctions were imposed due to the Belarusian government's support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As a result, Belarusian national and club teams are required to play their home matches at neutral venues without spectators. For this game, it is held in a neutral location in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, with no fans allowed to attend. This situation means that Scotland's match against Belarus in the World Cup qualifier is behind closed doors for security and regulatory reasons tied to geopolitical circumstances and UEFA's decisions on Belarusian fixtures.
