The England national football team has requested Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri, as its primary training base for the FIFA World Cup 2026, pending FIFA's approval. The Football Association believes they will secure this first-choice location. The team will use it during the group stage while traveling to matches across the United States.
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has announced that the country's men's national team will live and train in Austin, Texas, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This selection follows an agreement between Austin FC and FIFA, positioning the city as a key hub despite not hosting matches. The team, known as the Green Falcons, will base there between their group-stage games.
