Football’s Square Mile Officially Opens and Queen’s Park are suitably recognised

The Football Square Mile project has gone from strength to strength thanks to the dedicated work of The Hampden Collection, their fellow Football’s Square Mile Alliance partners and supporters from across the globe.

Graeme Brown, who founded of The Hampden Collection, explained: “This is the culmination of an incredible journey that began back in 2017 with the discovery of the first Hampden Park.

“This journey now sees us recognise, and celebrate, 21 sites across the southside of Glasgow that represent the origins of modern football. The story continues as we look forward to further championing the case for the award of UNESCO World Heritage Status for Football’s Square Mile.”

Club Director Gregor Hall added: “We were delighted to come along and mark the recognition of this historic site. If no meeting had be held here all those years ago the story of football would be very different.

“There is also a plaque at The city Stadium to recognise the huge role Queen’s Park played in establishing football as our national sport. I would encourage everyone to learn more about Football’s Square Mile.”
