The 1987 Rous Cup was the third staging of the Rous Cup international football competition, based around the England–Scotland football rivalry. For the first time, a third team was invited to create a three-team tournament.
In order to gain more experience of playing top level opposition, the FA invited Brazil to be the third entrant. They subsequently won the competition after defeating Scotland in the final game to take the trophy.[1]
