World Cup 2026: Base camps confirmed for all 48 participating nations

The base camps for all 48 nations competing in the 2026 World Cup have been confirmed, with the United States serving as the primary logistical hub for the tournament. Most teams have opted to establish their headquarters on U.S. soil, choosing diverse locations ranging from Irvine and Kansas to Nashville and San Francisco. Kansas stands out as a popular choice, hosting four national teams: Argentina, England, Netherlands, and Algeria. San Francisco will welcome Australia and Paraguay, while San Diego is designated as the operational base for New Zealand and Switzerland. Other notable U.S. destinations include Chattanooga for Spain, Renton for Belgium, Winston Salem for Germany, and Boston for both France and Ghana. Mexico will host four teams within its borders: Colombia and South Korea in Guadalajara, South Africa in Pachuca, and Tunisia in Monterrey. Notably, these Mexican cities are also venues for tournament matches, potentially reducing travel time for these specific teams. In a unique arrangement, Panama is the sole nation to establish its base camp in Canada. The team will reside at the Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston, Ontario, approximately an hour's drive from Toronto, where they are scheduled to play their opening match on June 17 against Ghana.
