Scotland at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia Scotland at the FIFA World Cup Jump to : navigation , search This article is a record of Scotland 's results at the FIFA World Cup : The FIFA World Cup , sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup , but usually referred to simply as the World Cup , is an international association football competition contested by the men 's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA ) , the sport 's global governing body . The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 , except in 1942 and 1946 , due to World War II . The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals . The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final . The Scottish Football Association is the second oldest in the world , having been founded in 1873 . Its foundation came the year after the first official international match was played between Scotland and England at Hamilton Crescent , Glasgow . Scotland have played at eight FIFA World Cups , including five consecutive tournaments from 1974 to 1990 . During the preparations for the 1928 Olympic Football Tournament , FIFA ruled that all its member associations must provide `` broken - time '' payments to cover the expenses of players from their country who participated . In response to what they considered to be unacceptable interference , the football associations of Scotland , England , Ireland and Wales held a meeting at which they agreed to resign from FIFA . As a result , Scotland did not compete in the three interwar World Cup competitions . The Scottish Football Association did not rejoin FIFA as a permanent member until 1946 . Scotland have never advanced beyond the first round of the finals competition . They have missed out on progressing to the second round three times on goal difference : in 1974 , when Brazil edged them out ; in 1978 , when the Netherlands progressed ; and in 1982 , when the USSR went through . Although Scotland have played at eight finals tournaments , they have qualified on nine occasions . The Scottish Football Association declined to participate in 1950 as Scotland were not the British champions .

This was because the four associations had been excluded from FIFA due to a disagreement regarding the status of amateur players . The four associations , including Scotland , returned to the FIFA fold after the Second World War . The readmission of the Scottish Football Association to FIFA meant that Scotland were now eligible to enter the 1950 FIFA World Cup . FIFA advised that places would be awarded to the top two teams in the 1949 -- 50 British Home Championship , but the SFA announced that Scotland would attend the finals only if Scotland won the competition . Scotland won their first two matches , but a 1 -- 0 home defeat by England meant that the Scots finished as runners - up . The SFA stood by this proclamation , despite pleas to the contrary by the Scotland players , supported by England captain Billy Wright and the other England players . Sportswriter Brian Glanville later described the SFA as showing `` baffling insularity and pique '' in their refusal to send a team to the World Cup . 1954 ( edit ) The same qualification rules as in 1950 were in place for the 1954 FIFA World Cup , with the 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship acting as a qualifying group . Scotland again finished second , but this time the SFA allowed a team to participate in the Finals , held in Switzerland . To quote the SFA website , `` The preparation was atrocious '' . The SFA only sent 13 players to the finals , even though FIFA allowed 22 - man squads at the tournament . Despite this self - imposed hardship in terms of players , the SFA dignitaries travelled in numbers , accompanied with their wives . Scotland lost 1 -- 0 against Austria in their first game in the finals . After falling out with the SFA , probably due to the poor preparation of the team , manager Andy Beattie resigned hours before the game against Uruguay . Uruguay were reigning champions and had never before lost a game at the World Cup finals . The gulf in class was exposed in horrific fashion as Uruguay won 7 -- 0 . 1958 ( edit ) Scotland qualified for the 1958 FIFA World Cup , finishing ahead of Spain . Matt Busby had been due to manage the team at the World Cup , but the severe injuries he suffered in the Munich air disaster meant that trainer Dawson Walker took charge of the team instead . In their first match at the finals Scotland achieved a creditable draw against Yugoslavia . Players Archie Robertson and Tommy Docherty were sent to watch next opponents Paraguay and they reported back that Paraguay was a `` rough , fit and good '' team . Walker chose to ignore this advice and left out some of his combative players , including Docherty , and Scotland lost 3 -- 2 . They exited the competition after also losing to France . Billy Bremner ( right ) playing for Scotland at the Westfalenstadion in the 1974 FIFA World Cup Scotland failed to qualify for another World Cup in the next 16 years . A `` skilful but fragile '' team lost a play - off to Czechoslovakia in qualification for 1962 . A team managed by Jock Stein , but deprived of many of its best players due to club commitments , lost a decisive qualifier against Italy in Naples for the 1966 tournament . A narrow defeat by West Germany in Hamburg then ended hopes of qualifying for 1970 . Willie Ormond was appointed Scotland manager in 1973 . Ormond lost his first match in charge 5 -- 0 to England , but recovered to steer Scotland to their first World Cup finals in 16 years in 1974 . At the 1974 World Cup finals in West Germany , Scotland achieved their most impressive performance at a World Cup tournament . The team was unbeaten but failed to progress beyond the group stages on goal difference . After beating Zaire , they drew with both Brazil and Yugoslavia , and went out because they had beaten Zaire by the smallest margin . This performance has been assessed as a `` gallant failure '' , but the choice to retain possession instead of pressing for more goals against Zaire has been criticised . 1978 ( edit ) Scotland appointed Ally MacLeod as manager in 1977 . Scotland qualified for the 1978 FIFA World Cup with victories over Czechoslovakia and Wales . During the build - up to the tournament , MacLeod fuelled the hopes of the nation by stating that Scotland would come home from Argentina with a medal . As the squad left for the finals , they were given an enthusiastic send off as they were paraded around a packed Hampden Park . Thousands more fans lined the route to Prestwick Airport as the team set off for South America . This enthusiasm was not just generated internally , as respected coaches such as Rinus Michels and Miljan Miljanić rated Scotland amongst the favourites to win the competition . The Royal Mail commissioned designs of commemorative stamps that would have been circulated if Scotland had won the World Cup . Scotland 's first game was against Peru in Córdoba . Two spectacular goals by Teófilo Cubillas meant that the result was a 3 -- 1 loss . The second game was a very disappointing 1 -- 1 draw against Iran . The disconsolate mood of the nation was reflected by footage of Ally MacLeod in the dugout with his head in his hands . MacLeod had made strange selection choices , picking inexperienced full - backs and retaining the out - of - form Bruce Rioch and Don Masson . After taking a single point from their opening two games , Scotland had to defeat the Netherlands by three clear goals to progress . Despite the Dutch taking the lead , Scotland fought back to win 3 -- 2 with a goal from Kenny Dalglish and two from Archie Gemmill , the second of which is considered one of the greatest World Cup goals ever ; Gemmill beat three Dutch defenders before lifting the ball over goalkeeper Jan Jongbloed into the net . The victory was not sufficient to secure a place in the second round , however , as Scotland were eliminated on goal difference for the second successive World Cup . This performance against strong opponents only heightened the frustration at the poor results earlier in the competition . MacLeod initially retained his position , but resigned later that year . 1982 ( edit ) Jock Stein , who had won nine consecutive Scottish league titles and the European Cup as manager of Celtic , was appointed Scotland manager in 1978 . After failing to qualify for the 1980 European Championship , Scotland qualified for the 1982 FIFA World Cup from a tough group including Sweden , Portugal , Israel and Northern Ireland , losing just one match in the process . They were then drawn in a `` Group of death '' with New Zealand , Brazil and the Soviet Union . Scotland beat New Zealand by 5 -- 2 in their first game , but then lost 4 -- 1 to a Brazil team containing Socrates , Zico , Eder and Falcão . Scotland were again eliminated on goal difference , after a 2 -- 2 draw with the Soviet Union . This match is best remembered for defenders Alan Hansen and Willie Miller colliding while chasing a long ball , which allowed the Soviets to run through and score . 1986 ( edit ) Scotland qualified for the 1986 FIFA World Cup , their fourth in succession , in traumatic circumstances . The squad went into their last qualification match against Wales needing a point to progress to a qualifying playoff against Australia . With only nine minutes remaining and Wales leading 1 -- 0 , Scotland were awarded a penalty kick , which was calmly scored by Davie Cooper . The 1 -- 1 draw meant that Scotland progressed , but as the players and fans celebrated , national coach Jock Stein suffered a heart attack and died shortly afterwards . His assistant Alex Ferguson took over . Scotland qualified by winning 2 -- 0 against Australia in a two - leg playoff , but were again drawn into a group of death , this time with Uruguay , Denmark and West Germany . Scotland were eliminated from the tournament with just one point from their three matches , a goalless draw with Uruguay . 1990 ( edit ) Scotland qualified for their fifth consecutive World Cup in 1990 by finishing second in their qualifying group , ahead of France . Scotland were drawn in a group with Costa Rica , Sweden , and Brazil , but the Scots lost 1 -- 0 to Costa Rica . While they recovered to beat Sweden 2 -- 1 in their second game , they lost to Brazil in their third match 1 -- 0 and were once again eliminated after the first round . Goalkeeper Jim Leighton fumbled a shot that allowed Brazil to score the only goal . 1998 ( edit ) Craig Brown guided Scotland to qualification for the 1998 FIFA World Cup , finishing as the best runners - up . Scotland were drawn against holders Brazil in the opening game of the World Cup . John Collins scored from the penalty spot to level the score at 1 -- 1 , but a Tom Boyd own goal led to a 2 -- 1 defeat . Scotland drew their next game 1 -- 1 with Norway in Bordeaux , but the final match against Morocco ended in a 3 -- 0 defeat . Scotland have not appeared at the World Cup since .

This experience and his Seventh - day Adventist upbringing reinforce Desmond 's belief in the commandment `` Thou shalt not kill '' . Years later , Doss takes an injured man to the hospital and meets a nurse , Dorothy Schutte . The two begin a relationship and Doss tells Dorothy of his interest in medical work . After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor , Doss enlists in the Army and intends to serve as a combat medic . His father Tom , a troubled World War I veteran , is deeply upset by the decision . Before leaving for Fort Jackson , he asks for Dorothy 's hand in marriage and she accepts . Doss is placed under the command of Sergeant Howell . He excels physically but becomes an outcast among his fellow soldiers for refusing to handle a rifle and train on Saturdays . Howell and Captain Glover attempt to discharge Doss for psychiatric reasons but are overruled , as Doss ' religious beliefs do not constitute mental illness . They subsequently torment Doss by putting him through grueling labor , intending to get Doss to leave of his own accord . Despite being beaten one night by his fellow soldiers , he refuses to identify his attackers and continues training . Doss ' unit completes basic training and is released on leave , during which Doss intends to marry Dorothy , but his refusal to carry a firearm leads to an arrest for insubordination . Captain Glover and Dorothy visit Doss in jail and try to convince him to plead guilty so that he can be released without charge but Doss refuses to compromise his beliefs . At his trial , Doss pleads not guilty , but before he is sentenced , his father barges into the tribunal with a letter from a former commanding officer stating that his son 's pacifism is protected by an Act of Congress . The charges against Doss are dropped , and he and Dorothy are married . Doss ' unit is assigned to the 77th Infantry Division and deployed to the Pacific theater . During the Battle of Okinawa , Doss ' unit is informed that they are to relieve the 96th Infantry Division , which was tasked with ascending and securing the Maeda Escarpment ( `` Hacksaw Ridge '' ) . In the initial fight , both sides sustain heavy losses , and Doss successfully saves several wounded soldiers . The Americans camp for the night , which Doss spends in a foxhole with Smitty , a squadmate who was the first to call Doss a coward . Doss reveals that his aversion to holding a firearm stems from nearly shooting his drunken father , who threatened his mother with a gun . Smitty apologizes for doubting his courage and the two make amends . The next morning , the Japanese launch a massive counterattack and drive the Americans off the escarpment . Smitty is killed , while Howell and several of Doss ' squad mates are left injured on the battlefield . Doss hears the cries of dying soldiers and returns to save them , carrying wounded soldiers to the cliff 's edge and belaying them down by rope , each time praying to save one more . The arrival of dozens of wounded once presumed dead comes as a shock to the rest of the unit below . When day breaks , Doss rescues Howell and the two finally escape Hacksaw under enemy fire . Captain Glover tells Doss that the men have been inspired by his selflessness , and that they will not launch the next attack without him . Despite the next day being the Sabbath day , he joins his fellow soldiers after finishing his prayers . With reinforcements , they turn the tide of battle . During an ambush set by Japanese soldiers feigning surrender , Doss manages to save Glover and others by knocking away enemy grenades . Doss is eventually wounded by a grenade blast , but the battle is won . Doss descends the cliff , clutching the Bible Dorothy gave him . The film switches to archival photos and footage showing that Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman for rescuing 75 soldiers at Hacksaw Ridge . Doss stayed married to Dorothy until her death in 1991 . He died on March 23 , 2006 , at the age of 87 .

Colonel Cooney Robert Morgan as Colonel Sangston Nathaniel Buzolic as Harold `` Hal '' Doss , Desmond 's brother Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Hacksaw Ridge was in development limbo for fourteen years . Numerous producers had tried for decades to film Doss ' story , including decorated war hero Audie Murphy and Hal B. Wallis . In 2001 , after finally convincing Doss that making a movie on his remarkable life was the right thing to do , screenwriter / producer Gregory Crosby ( grandson of Bing Crosby ) wrote the treatment and brought the project to film producer David Permut , of Permut Presentations , through the early efforts of Stan Jensen of the Seventh - day Adventist Church , which ultimately led to the film being financed . In 2004 , director Terry Benedict won the rights to make a documentary about Doss , The Conscientious Objector , and secured the dramatic film rights in the process . However , Doss died in 2006 , after which producer Bill Mechanic acquired and then sold the rights to Walden Media , which developed the project along with producer David Permut . Co-producers of the film are Gregory Crosby and Steve Longi . Walden Media insisted on a PG - 13 version of the battle , and Mechanic spent years working to buy the rights back . After acquiring the rights , Mechanic approached Mel Gibson , and wanted him to create a concoction of violence and faith , as he did with The Passion of the Christ ( 2004 ) . Gibson turned down the offer twice , as he previously did with Braveheart ( 1995 ) . Nearly a decade later , Gibson finally agreed to direct , a decision announced in November 2014 . The same month , Andrew Garfield was confirmed to play the role of Desmond Doss . With a budget of $40 million , the team still faced many challenges . Hacksaw Ridge became an international co-production , with key players and firms located in both the United States and Australia . When Australian tax incentives were taken off the table , the film had to qualify as Australian to receive government subsidies . Despite being American - born , Gibson 's early years in Australia helped the film qualify , along with most of the cast being Australian , including Rachel Griffiths ( Doss ' mother ) , Teresa Palmer ( Doss ' wife ) , Sam Worthington ( unit leader ) , Hugo Weaving ( as Doss ' father ) , Richard Roxburgh ( as a colonel ) and Luke Bracey ( as Smitty , one of Doss ' most antagonistic unit members ) . Rounding out the cast was American actor Vince Vaughn . On February 9 , 2015 , IM Global closed a deal to finance the film , and also sold the film into the international markets . On the same day , Lionsgate acquired the North American distribution rights to the film . Chinese distribution rights were acquired by Bliss Media , a Shanghai - based film production and distribution company . Hacksaw Ridge is the first film directed by Gibson since Apocalypto in 2006 , and marks a departure from his previous films , such as Apocalypto and Braveheart , in which the protagonists acted violently . Writing ( edit ) Robert Schenkkan and Randall Wallace wrote the script , and Wallace was previously attached to direct the film . Andrew Knight polished the original script . Gibson 's partner Bruce Davey also produced the film , along with Paul Currie . Casting ( edit ) The cast -- Andrew Garfield , Vince Vaughn , Sam Worthington , Luke Bracey , Teresa Palmer , Rachel Griffiths , Richard Roxburgh , Luke Pegler , Richard Pyros , Ben Mingay , Firass Dirani , Nico Cortez , Michael Sheasby , Goran Kleut , Jacob Warner , Harry Greenwood , Damien Thomlinson , Ben O'Toole , Benedict Hardie , Robert Morgan , Ori Pfeffer , Milo Gibson , and Nathaniel Buzolic , Hugo Weaving , and Ryan Corr -- was announced between November 2014 and October 2015 . The younger Doss was played by Darcy Bryce . Garfield plays Desmond Doss , a US Army medic awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman for saving lives during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II . Garfield had high regards for Doss , and venerated him for his act of bravery , hailing him as a `` wonderful symbol of embodying the idea of live and let live no matter what your ideology is , no matter what your value system is , just to allow other people to be who they are and allow yourself to be who you are . '' He found the idea of playing a real superhero , as compared to his past roles playing Spider - Man in The Amazing Spider - Man and its sequel , much more inspiring . Garfield admitted that he cried the first time he read the screenplay . He visited Doss ' hometown and touched his various tools . Gibson was drawn to Garfield the first time he saw his performance in The Social Network . Palmer wanted a role in the film so badly that she auditioned via phone , and sent the recording to Gibson . She heard nothing back for three months , until Gibson called Palmer to tell her in a Skype chat that he had cast her in the role of Dorothy , Doss ' wife . Principal photography ( edit ) Principal photography started on September 29 , 2015 , and lasted for 59 days , ending in December of that year . Filming took place entirely in Australia . The film was based at Fox Studios in Sydney , after producers vigorously scouted for locations around the country . Filming took place mostly in the state of New South Wales -- where Gibson spent much of his early years -- in and around Sydney such as in Richmond , Bringelly , and Oran Park . Gibson moved to the state in July 2015 , two months before filming began . The graveyard scene was shot at a set - constructed cemetery in Sydney 's Centennial Park . The grounds of Newington Armory at Sydney Olympic Park were used as Fort Jackson . Filming in Bringelly required the team to clear and deforest over 500 hectares of land , which evoked the ire of some environmentalists . However , the producers had complete approval and clearance to do so . Also conditions were imposed to replant and rehabilitate part of the land after filming ceased . According to Troy Grant , New South Wales ' deputy premier and minister for the arts , the film brought 720 jobs and US $19 million to regional and rural New South Wales . Altogether , three jeeps , two trucks and a tank were featured in the film . Bulldozers and backhoes were used to transform a dairy pasture near Sydney to re-create the Okinawa battlefield . A berm had to be raised around the perimeter so cameras could turn 360 degrees without getting any eucalyptus trees in the background . Gibson did not want to rely heavily on computer visual effects , either on the screen or in pre-visualizing the battle scenes . Visual effects were used only during bloody scenes , like napalm - burnt soldiers . During filming of the war scenes , Gibson incorporated his past war - movie experiences , and would yell to the actors , reminding them constantly of what they were fighting for . Post-Production ( edit ) Kevin O'Connell , who won his first Academy Award for sound mixing in this film , stated that budget constraints forced him to utilize archival sounds of WWII - era weapons . Themes ( edit ) The film has been described as an anti-war film , with pacifist themes . It also incorporates recurring religious imagery , such as baptism and ascension . Historical accuracy ( edit ) Doss on top of the Maeda Escarpment , May 4 , 1945 After the war , Doss turned down many requests for books and film versions of his actions , because he was wary of whether his life , wartime experiences , and Seventh - day Adventist beliefs would be portrayed inaccurately or sensationally . Doss ' only child , Desmond Doss Jr. , stated : `` The reason he declined is that none of them adhered to his one requirement : that it be accurate . And I find it remarkable , the level of accuracy in adhering to the principal of the story in this movie . '' Producer David Permut stated that the filmmakers took great care in maintaining the integrity of the story , since Doss was very religious . However , the filmmakers did change some details , notably the backstory about his father , the incident with the gun Doss took out of his alcoholic father 's hands , and the circumstances of his first marriage . The character of Smitty , portrayed by Luke Bracey , is an amalgamation of various soldiers who tormented Doss and was created for narrative reasons . Other changes to the story occur near the end of the movie when Doss is placed on a stretcher . In real life , Doss had another wounded man take his place on the stretcher . After treating the soldier , a sniper shot fractured Doss ' arm and he crawled to safety after being left alone for five hours . Gibson omitted this from the film because he felt that the audience would not find the scene believable . The film also omits his prior combat service in the Battle of Guam and Battle of Leyte ( Doss was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for extraordinary bravery in both battles ) , and leaves the impression that Doss ' actions at Okinawa took place over a period of a few days , though his Medal of Honor citation covered his actions over a period of about three weeks ( April 29 to May 21 ) .

Debney was himself replaced by Rupert Gregson - Williams after his score was rejected before Hacksaw Ridge was set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival . When composing the music Gregson - Williams commented : `` The soundtrack is really in two parts . A lovely romance blossoms as Desmond discovers both the love of his life and his faith . The second half of the movie is brutal ... We wanted to reflect his spirituality without being pious , and his bravery without celebrating violence .

It was expected to play very well among faith - based , Midwest , and Southern audiences .

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 86 % based on 244 reviews , with an average rating of 7.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Hacksaw Ridge uses a real - life pacifist 's legacy to lay the groundwork for a gripping wartime tribute to faith , valor , and the courage of remaining true to one 's convictions . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100 , based on 47 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . The Milford Daily News called the film a `` masterpiece '' , adding that it `` is going to end up on many 2016 Top 10 lists , that should get Oscar nominations for Best Actor , Best Director and Best Picture . '' Maggie Stancu of Movie Pilot wrote that `` Gibson made some of his most genius directing choices in Hacksaw Ridge , and Garfield has given his best performance yet . With amazing performances by Vince Vaughn , Teresa Palmer , Sam Worthington and Hugo Weaving , it is absolutely one of 2016 's must - see films . '' Mick LaSalle of SFGate called the film `` a brilliant return for Mel Gibson , which confirms his position as a director with a singular talent for spectacle and a sure way with actors . '' In The Film Lawyers , Samar Khan called Hacksaw Ridge `` fantastic , '' and emphasised `` just how wonderful it is to have Gibson back in a more prominent position in Hollywood , hopefully with the demons of his past behind him . If Hacksaw Ridge is any indication , we are poised for a future filled with great films from the visionary director . '' The Daily Telegraph awarded four stars , and added : `` Hacksaw Ridge is a fantastically moving and bruising war film that hits you like a raw topside of beef in the face -- a kind of primary - coloured Guernica that flourishes on a big screen with a crowd . '' The Guardian also awarded the film four stars , and stated that Gibson had `` absolutely hit Hacksaw Ridge out of the park . '' The Australian 's reviewer was equally positive , stating that , as a director , `` Gibson 's approach is bold and fearless ; this represents his best work to date behind the camera . '' Rex Reed of Observer rated it with four stars , and called it `` the best war film since Saving Private Ryan ... ( I ) t is violent , harrowing , heartbreaking and unforgettable . And yes , it was directed by Mel Gibson . He deserves a medal , too '' Michael Smith of Tulsa World called Hacksaw Ridge a `` moving character study '' and praised both the direction and acting : `` It 's truly remarkable how Gibson can film scenes of such heartfelt emotion with such sweet subtlety as easily as he stages some of the most vicious , visual scenes of violence that you will ever see ... Hacksaw Ridge is beautiful and brutal , and that 's a potent combination for a movie about a man determined to serve his country , as well as his soul . '' IGN critic Alex Welch gave a score of 8 / 10 , praising it as `` one of the most successful war films of recent memory , '' and `` at times horrifying , inspiring , and heart - wrenching . '' Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review , praising Gibson 's direction and saying , `` There are two moments during the second half of Mel Gibson 's Hacksaw Ridge when I literally jumped out of my seat in terror . The film 's depiction of war is the best I 've seen since Saving Private Ryan . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 stars , writing , `` Thanks to some of the greatest battle scenes ever filmed , Gibson once again shows his staggering gifts as a filmmaker , able to juxtapose savagery with aching tenderness . '' In contrast , Matt Zoller Seitz for RogerEbert.com gave the film 2.5 stars , and described the film as `` a movie at war with itself .

Question: who plays the main character in hacksaw ridge


Nusaybah clan - wikipedia Nusaybah clan Jump to : navigation , search The Nusaybah Clan ( Arabic : عائلة نسيبة  ; alternatively spelt Nussaiba , Nusseibeh and Nuseibeh ) is the oldest Muslim dynasty in Jerusalem . The Nusaybah family has a long history and tight bonds with the Holy Land , Jerusalem , since the days their first forefathers arrived into Jerusalem in the 7th century . According to tradition , the Nusaybah family took its name from a female companion or Sahabah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad named Nusaybah bint Ka'ab . She was a member of the Ansar who transferred their political power over Medina to the prophet . Nusaybah fought along with Muhammed in battle and was an early example of women taking leadership roles in Islam . Since the arrival of Islam in Jerusalem in the seventh century , the Sunni Muslim family has held the keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre alongside the Joudeh Al - Goudia family ( who were added to the original arrangement in the time of Saladin , the Muslim conqueror who seized the holy city from the Crusaders in 1187 ) . This arrangement emerged during the days of the second Sunni caliph Umar Ibn al - Khattab , who hoped to avoid clashes among rival Christian sects for control over the church . Although symbolic , the arrangement has provided the stability the Christians of the city needed , and is a symbol of tolerance and inter-religious harmony , and gave the Nusaybah family a visible role in Christian activities in Jerusalem , which include pilgrimages and visits by Western Christians . Contents ( hide ) 1 Family roots 1.1 Nusseibeh and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre 2 Notable members 3 References 4 Further reading Family roots ( edit ) Ancestors of the family arrived in Jerusalem with the arrival of Islam in AD 637 . They included two companions of the Islamic Prophet Muhammed -- Abdullah bin Nusaybah and Mu'adh bin Jabal , and many others of the Prophet 's companions and maternal uncles , descendents of Salma from Banu Najjar , a clan of the Khazraj , the wife of Hashim , forefather of the Hashemite Family and mother of its renowned leader Abdul Muttalib , grandfather of Muhammed . The Nusaybah family is a clan of the Khazraj tribe of Medina , known in Islam as al - Ansar , for their support and protection of Prophet Muhammed during his exile from Mecca . Nusseibeh and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre ( edit ) When the prayer time came , the Archbishop of Jerusalem , Sophronius , invited Umar , to pray at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , Christianity 's holiest site . Umar refused fearing that future Muslim generations would claim the church as their own and turn it into a mosque . Umar instead prayed a few yards away from the church where a mosque is built now . The Mosque of Umar still stands next to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as a reminder of the strong Muslim - Christian bond in the Holy Land . Upon entering Jerusalem , Umar signed with the Christians of Jerusalem what became known as the `` Covenant of Umar '' . It guaranteed protection for the Christians to live and worship freely and also protection for the Christian places of worship . One of the great ancestors of the Nusaybah family was Ubada Ibn Al - Samet who settled in Jerusalem in the 7th century in the wake of the Arab - Islamic capture of Jerusalem , and who was appointed as a governor by Umar . It is said that the keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were placed in the custody of the family during this period . The ancient records and manuscripts kept by the various Christian denominations in their monasteries all record the Nusaybah family 's relationship and that of their ancestral forefathers from the Bani Ghanim al - Khazraj to the Holy Sepulchre , at least since the time of Saladin more than 800 years ago , specifically since 1192 , when Sultan Saladin and King Richard the Lionheart concluded an agreement allowing western Christian pilgrims to visit the Holy Sepulchre under certain stipulations . Saladin entrusted the custody of the doors of the Holy Sepulchre to the leading and most renowned Shaikh Ghanim ben Ali ben Hussein al - Ansari al - Khazrajy , the Jerusalemite , and all matters pertaining to it . Ghanim had been born in Burin village near Nablus in AD 562 , where his family had taken refuge after the crusader conquest of Jerusalem in ( 1087 ) Notable members ( edit ) Notable members of the family have included : Ala Amine Nuseibeh the Chief Executive Officer and President of KAN International Petroleum .

The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920 , and has participated in every Summer Games since then . India has also competed at several Winter Olympic Games beginning in 1964 . Indian athletes have won a total of 28 medals so far , all at the Summer Games . For a period of time , India national field hockey team was dominant in Olympic competition , winning eleven medals in twelve Olympics between 1920 and 1980 .

Ahead of the 1920 Games , Sir Dorabji Tata and Governor of Bombay George Lloyd helped India secure representation at the International Olympic Council , enabling it to participate in the Games ( see India at the 1920 Olympic Games ) . India then sent a team to the 1920 Olympics , comprising four athletes , two wrestlers , and managers Sohrab Bhoot and A.H.A. Fyzee . The Indian Olympic movement was then established during the 1920s : some founders of this movement were Dorabji Tata , A.G. Noehren ( Madras College of Physical Education ) , H.C. Buck ( Madras College of Physical Education ) , Moinul Haq ( Bihar sports associations ) , S. Bhoot ( Bombay Olympic Association ) , A.S. Bhagwat ( Deccan Gymkhana ) , and Guru Dutt Sondhi ( Punjab Olympic Association ) ; Lt. Col H.L.O. Garrett ( from the Government College Lahore and Punjab Olympic Association ) and Sagnik Poddar ( of St. Stephen 's School ) helped organise some early national games ; and prominent patrons included Maharajas and royal princes Bhupinder Singh of Patiala , Ranjitsinhji of Nawanagar , the Maharaja of Kapurthala , and the Maharaja of Burdwan . In 1923 , a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed , and in February 1924 , the All India Olympic Games ( that later became the National Games of India ) were held to select a team for the Paris Summer Olympics . The Indian delegation at the Paris Olympics comprised seven athletes , seven tennis players and team manager Harry Buck . In 1927 , the provisional Indian Olympic Committee formally became the Indian Olympic Association ( IOA ) ; its main tasks were to promote the development of sports in India , choose host cities for the national games , and send teams selected from the national games to the Summer Olympics . Thus , at the 1928 national games , it selected seven athletes to represent India at the next Summer Olympics , with Sondhi as manager . By this time , the Indian Hockey Federation ( IHF ) had also been established and it sent a hockey team to the Summer Olympics . The national hockey team and additional sportspersons were similarly sent to the 1932 Games ( four athletes and one swimmer ) and 1936 ( four athletes , three wrestlers , one Burmese weight - lifter ) , along with three officials headed by team manager Sondhi . From 1948 onward , because of the IOA 's wider outreach , India began sending delegations of over 50 sportspersons representing several sport , each selected by its sports federation , to the Summer Olympics . The delegation was headed by a chef - de-mission . Thus , India 's Summer Olympic delegation in the early Olympic Games was as follows : 1900 : One athlete 1920 : 6 competitors ( four athletes , two wrestlers ) and managers Bhoot and Fyzee 1924 : 14 competitors ( seven athletes , seven tennis players ) and manager Harry Crowe Buck 1928 : 21 competitors ( seven athletes and a hockey team of 14 ) and manager GD Sondhi 1932 : 20 competitors ( four athletes , one swimmer , and a hockey team of 15 ) and three officials headed by manager GD Sondhi 1936 : 27 competitors ( four athletes , three wrestlers , one Burmese weight - lifter , and a hockey team of 19 ) and three officials including manager GD Sondhi 1948 : 79 competitors and a few officials headed by chef - de-mission Moin ul Haq 1952 : 64 competitors and some officials headed by chef - de-mission Moin ul Haq Recent history ( edit ) At the 2008 Beijing Olympics , Abhinav Bindra won gold in the Men 's 10 metre air rifle event becoming the first Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games . Vijender Singh got the country 's first medal in boxing with his bronze medal in Middleweight category . The 2012 Summer Olympics saw an 83 - member Indian contingent participating in the games and setting a new best for the country with a total of six medals . Wrestler Sushil Kumar became the first Indian with multiple individual Olympic medals ( bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver at the 2012 Summer Olympics ) since Norman Pritchard in 1900 . Saina Nehwal won bronze medal in badminton in Women 's singles getting the country 's first Olympic medal in badminton . Pugilist Mary Kom became the first Indian woman to win a medal in boxing with her bronze medal finish in Women 's flyweight category . At the 2016 Summer Olympics , a record number of 118 athletes competed .
