Scotland will be a host nation for four Euro 2020 football matches.
UEFA announced Hampden Park in Glasgow will be the stage for one last-16 tie and three group clashes, while the semi-finals and final will be played at Wembley.
The Aviva stadium in Dublin will be involved, also hosting three group games and one last-16 fixture.
There was bitter disappointment for Wales, who missed out in their bid for games at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.
Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan believes the backing of Sir Alex Ferguson and the success of the Commonwealth Games was key to the successful bid.
“Everyone saw what Glasgow was capable of with the Commonwealth Games, and that really put Glasgow on the map. It was a huge factor and we used that in our film.
“Sir Alex Ferguson came in last week with a video in support of our bid and spoke passionately about it, and I am sure that must have helped.
“We knew Michel Platini was a football man and that’s what we played strongest on and that’s why we used Alex Ferguson.”
UEFA is staging the tournament in 13 cities across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the first European Championships.
The quarter-finals and three group matches will be held in Munich, Baku, Rome and St Petersburg.
Other host cities are Copenhagen, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Budapest and Brussels.
Germany withdrew Munich’s bid just before the vote, leaving the field clear for London and Wembley’s selection for the final was made by acclamation.
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke said: “We are delighted it’s nice to win one!
“Wembley is a great stadium and we are delighted to be holding the finals of this tournament.
“It has been completely rebuilt since 1996 and is it a wonderful stadium.”
Dyke also praised UEFA for the idea of hosting the tournament across 13 cities in Europe.
He added: “It struck me what a good idea this is look at all these capital cities hosting.”
