![]() ![]() With the number of inter-nation matches increasing as football spread, the need for a global governing body emerged. Previously the Football Association had been the world's only governing body, though codified football was being played only in the United Kingdom at this stage. This was followed by the creation of the world's second national football association, the Scottish Football Association in 1873. The following year at The Oval, England enjoyed a 4–2 victory over the travelling Scots. The first official match between representatives of two nations was conducted between England and Scotland in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Partick, Glasgow, finishing in a 0–0 draw.
