Caroline Weir leads Scotland push for World Cup Spot

Caroline Weir says her main focus is leading Scotland back to the World Cup as she takes on the role of captain.

The Scotland women’s national team has not qualified for a major tournament since 2019, and Weir is determined to change that.

“I want nothing more this year than to qualify for that World Cup,” she said.

“The disappointment of the last couple of campaigns, it’s only a bigger driver for me.”

Now captain of the national team, Weir is leading a squad pushing to return to a major tournament for the first time since 2019.

“I think what’s good is we have a lot of fresh faces, young, talented, hungry players that also want to be at that World Cup.”

Away from the pitch, her connection to Dunfermline remains clear.

From local spots to community work, Weir continues to stay involved, working with young players through development programmes and coaching sessions.

“It’s such a cool feeling because it wasn’t like that when I was their age.”

“To come back and see other girls kind of live that as well is so cool.”
