In preparation for the FIFA World Cup 26™, FIFA has expanded its online Team Base Camp brochure with 26 new options for participating teams. The brochure serves as a guide to potential training sites and accommodations for teams during the tournament. The addition of these new options brings the total to 49 potential Team Base Camps, providing teams with a diverse selection of facilities across various cities in the United States and Mexico.

Cities such as Boise, Colorado Springs, Columbus, Greensboro, Orlando, Tampa, and Tucson in the United States, along with Pachuca in Mexico, are among the new additions to the brochure. The inclusion of these locations aims to offer teams suitable "homes away from home" where they can train, rest, and prepare for their matches during the group stage of the tournament.

The updated brochure reflects FIFA's commitment to providing unprecedented flexibility for the 48 participating teams. By expanding the list of potential Team Base Camps, FIFA ensures that teams' logistical and training needs are met as they gear up for the historic FIFA World Cup 26™. Host Cities like Houston and New York New Jersey have also introduced new potential sites, giving teams a wide range of options to choose from based on their preferences and requirements.

As the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 approaches in December 2025, teams are expected to make their final selections based on the geographic zones assigned during the draw. This strategic decision-making process will determine the Team Base Camp locations where teams will get ready to compete in what promises to be the biggest FIFA World Cup™ ever.

Across social media, fans and followers have already started discussing the new Team Base Camp options. Some have raised concerns about training at high altitudes in locations like Mexico City and Colorado Springs, while others have suggested specific sites like Pachuca for teams to consider. Comments have also highlighted the absence of base camps in certain regions such as Northern California and sparked discussions about facilities like the 'Smurf Turf' in Boise and the Boas soccer complex.

Overall, the FIFA World Cup 26™ continues to generate excitement and anticipation as teams look forward to selecting their optimal training grounds ahead of the prestigious tournament. With a diverse array of Team Base Camp options available, teams are set to embark on their journey towards glory in the highly anticipated event.
