2026 FIFA World Cup base camps

Base camps were used by the 48 national squads to stay and train before and during the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament.[1][2][3][4]

Similar to the prohibition of naming-rights sponsors that apply to the competition venues, the names of some training facilities were also altered by FIFA.[5]
