The Panama national soccer team will establish a local base camp at Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston, Ontario, for the 2026 FIFA World Cup [1].
The selection of a dedicated training hub in Canada ensures the team has a stable environment for preparation during the tournament. This arrangement allows the squad to maintain a consistent routine while competing in a high-pressure international event.
Nottawasaga Resort and Conference Centre will serve as the team's primary residence and training facility [1, 2]. The facility is designed to provide a home-away-from-home experience, offering the necessary infrastructure for both athlete recovery and tactical preparation [1].
The team is expected to utilize the camp during the tournament window in June and July 2026 [1]. By securing a centralized location in Alliston, the Panamanian delegation can manage logistics and training schedules more effectively as they navigate the World Cup group stages.
Local officials and resort management are coordinating to meet the specific requirements of a professional national squad. The focus remains on providing a secure and private atmosphere where players can focus entirely on their performance on the pitch [1].
This partnership brings a high-profile international sporting delegation to the Alliston area. The presence of the national team is expected to highlight the region's capacity to host elite global athletes during one of the largest sporting events in the world [1, 2].
