  1. What is the Pinatar Cup?

    Iceland v Scotland (14:00)

    The invitational tournament takes up a round-robin format, with Iceland and Scotland joined by Wales and the Philippines in this year's mix.

    This will be the third time Scotland have taken part in the Pinatar Cup, the only side to have featured in every instalment of the competition since its inaugural outing in 2019.

    That year, Scotland lifted the trophy, before floundering in last year's revamped eight-team tournament, losing to Wales and being forced into consolation games, eventually finishing fifth.
