FIFA has revealed the official base training camp sites for all 48 national teams participating in the 2026 World Cup [1].
These designated facilities are critical for athlete preparation, providing teams with a consistent environment for training and recovery before the tournament begins [2].
The distribution of the sites reflects the scale of the tournament across North America. A total of 39 locations are situated in the U.S. [2], while seven locations are in Mexico [2] and two are in Canada [2].
To accommodate the expanded field of 48 teams [1], FIFA has extended the footprint of the event beyond the primary match venues. The organization said that 25 additional communities will host base camps in addition to the 16 official host cities [3].
Each participating team is assigned a specific facility to ensure a standardized level of preparation ahead of the competition [2]. The logistical layout aims to balance the geographical spread of the three host nations, while maintaining high-performance standards for the athletes.

The allocation of training sites highlights the logistical complexity of the largest World Cup in history. By utilizing 25 communities outside the primary host cities, FIFA is spreading the tournament's economic and operational impact across a wider region of North America, while the heavy concentration of sites in the U.S. underscores that nation's role as the primary hub for the 2026 event.
