John Morton, an 83-year-old resident, said: "As a proud Scot, I’m really looking forward to cheering on Scotland.
"Scottish football has such a rich history, and it brings back fond memories of watching matches and celebrating with family and friends.
"It will be lovely to share those memories and enjoy the atmosphere with everyone at Sway Place."
The event is part of Care UK’s 'Goal-den Moments' initiative, which aims to bring generations together and help residents reminisce about cherished football memories with the local community.
Francis Bosompim, Home Manager at Sway Place, said: “As football fever sweeps the country, we can’t wait to welcome the community for some matchday magic."
