The 1988 Rous Cup was the fourth staging of the
Rous Cup international
football competition, based around the
England–Scotland football rivalry. For the second year in succession, a third team was invited to create a three-team tournament.
After having Brazil's participation in the previous year, the FA again invited
South American opposition to participate, this time
Colombia.
England won the competition for a second time after being the only team to win a game; the two other matches ended in draws.
