[[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] have played seven full international matches at Easter Road. These have been [[friendly match]]es against less attractive opposition where a relatively small crowd was expected, and it has therefore been unnecessary to play the match at Hampden Park. The [[Scotland national under-21 football team|Scotland under-21]] team has also sometimes played matches at Easter Road, such as when Scotland played [[Iceland national under-21 football team|Iceland]] in the [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification play-offs]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/hibernianfc/Hibs39-reward-for-rebuilding-job.6534372.jp |title=Hibs' reward for rebuilding job is to stage Scotland U-21 play-off |newspaper=The Scotsman |publisher=Johnston Press |last=Pattullo |first=Alan |date=15 October 2010 |access-date=15 October 2010}}</ref> The most recent full international played at the stadium was a [[friendly match]] between Scotland and [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] in March 2017. One full international was played at Easter Road that did not involve Scotland, a friendly match between [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] and [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] that was played in advance of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]].<ref name = "ghana korea">{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jun/05/worldcup2006.sport126 |title=Essien entertains for Ghana |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=5 June 2006 |access-date=1 November 2011 |last=Grahame |first=Ewing}}</ref>
