Every World Cup 2026 training base and hotel

Algeria

Algeria are returning to the World Cup for the first time since 2014, joining the A...a group of Argentina, Austria, and... Jordan.

They will train at the University of Kansas, while staying at the Oread Lawrence Hotel.

Argentina

World champions Argentina will join Algeria in Kansas City, but will instead train at Sporting KC Training Centre and stay at the Hotel Savoy Kansas City.

Australia

The Socceroos will be hoping to replicate their relative success in 2022, as they trumped Tunisia and Denmark to qualify for the Round of 16, where Aziz Behich and Garang Kuol scared the life out of Lionel Messi fans.

Australia's base is in San Francisco at the Oakland Roots/Soul Training and they are staying at the Claremont Resort and Club.

Austria

It's 28 years since Austria last played a World Cup fixture, but they topped their Euro 2024 group containing France, the Netherlands and Poland.

They're in California too, in Los Angeles at the Ritz-Carlton and training at UC Santa Barbara.

Belgium

Over on the east coast, big names Brazil have chosen the Big Apple for their stay.
