From the 30th of October – 1st November, Team Scotland travelled to and competed in the 2026 Stadskanaal tournament for their 10th year.
The team consisted of:
- Owen Shea
- Stuart Melville
- Jack Pitt
- Finlay Tarvitt
- Craig Stephen
- Colin Williamson (vice)
- Harry Baird
- Frances Holligan
- Gemma Davies
- Lily Hart
- Hope Murphy
- Sophie Spavin
- Sophie Wax (captain)
- Pat Merton (head coach)
In the friendly tournament, Scotland played their group stage games against tough opponents Morocco and Platja D’aro. Scotland placed third in their group meaning they were entered into the round robin for places 9th – 12th.
In this round robin they played against Northern Development Hub (NDH), Albatros, and Zimbabwe. After a draw to NDH, a loss against Albatros, and a win against Zimbabwe, Scotland managed to secure their spot for 10th place.
On the final day, all of the official IKF matches took place and so Scotland had their game against Armenia. A few years ago at this tournament the same matchup occurred and resulted in an Armenia win.
Now was the time for the rematch and after some great goals and strong defence, Scotland won with a comfortable lead of 21 – 16.
