Brontekst bekijken van Victory International

De term '''Victory Internationals''' verwijst naar twee reeksen van [[vriendschappelijke interland]]s tussen de nationale voetbalelftallen van [[Engels voetbalelftal (mannen)|Engeland]], [[Schots voetbalelftal (mannen)|Schotland]], [[Iers voetbalelftal (mannen)|Ierland]] en [[Welsh voetbalelftal (mannen)|Wales]], die gespeeld werden kort na afloop van de [[Eerste Wereldoorlog|Eerste]] en [[Tweede Wereldoorlog]]. De wedstrijden werden georganiseerd om de overwinning (''victory'') over de [[centrale mogendheden]] en [[asmogendheden]] te vieren. De term refereert expliciet naar de wedstrijden die gespeeld werden in vredestijd, in contrast tegen de gespeelde interlands in oorlogstijd. Na afloop van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden ook tegen [[Belgisch voetbalelftal (mannen)|België]], [[Zwitsers voetbalelftal (mannen)|Zwitserland]] en [[Frans voetbalelftal (mannen)|Frankrijk]] Victory Internationals gespeeld.

| score = 2 – 2<ref>Volgens [[Archie Baird]], die debuteerde, had de wedstrijd nooit door mogen gaan doordat het veld met enkele centimeters sneeuw en een dun laagje ijs onbespeelbaar leek. Daarnaast stak een stevige [[mist]] op waardoor spelers grote delen van het veld niet meer konden zien. Baird vermoedde dat alleen het feit dat de Belgen een lange reis hadden gehad en buitenlandse spelers een zeldzaamheid waren in Schotland, reden was de interland door te zetten.</ref><ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/scot-intres1950.html RSSSF]</ref>
