FIFA unveils the second edition of the online Team Base Camp brochure, providing an updated list of potential training sites and accommodation for FIFA World Cup 26™ teams
26 new options have been added, bringing the total to 49 potential Team Base Camps, highlighting the footprint of this inclusive event
Further Team Base Camp options will be added throughout 2025 ahead of the historic tournament
FIFA has released the second wave of potential Team Base Camps in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 26™, offering participating teams a variety of “homes away from home” for the tournament. These hubs will serve as the primary base for teams during the group stage, where they will train, rest and prepare for their matches.
The updated brochure includes 26 new options in cities throughout the United States - such as Boise, Colorado Springs, Columbus, Greensboro, Orlando, Tampa and Tucson - as well as in Pachuca in Mexico. This marks a significant expansion, offering a diverse range of facilities across the tournament’s footprint. Host Cities including Houston and New York New Jersey have also added new potential sites, further broadening the options for the national teams that ultimately qualify for the biggest FIFA World Cup™ ever.
The updated brochure provides unprecedented flexibility for the 48 participating teams, ensuring their logistical and training needs are met in one of the biggest events in sports history.
Teams will submit their final selections following the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 26. The draw, anticipated to be staged in December 2025, will reveal the geographic zones in which teams will play their group matches, further guiding their decisions regarding their respective Team Base Camp locations.
FIFA plans to further expand the list throughout 2025, with additional options to be included in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
