Just like the 2026 World Cup, the United States will host 39 teams, securing the most among the host nations, leaving Mexico with seven countries and Canada with only two. The Director of Operations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Heimo Schirgi, explained the process for selecting the training camps.
According to the Austrian, this selection and allocation process was a significant logistical challenge due to the high demand from participants, which, it’s worth noting, surpasses previous editions where only 32 countries qualified. He also confirmed that the 60 chosen training camp locations are elite facilities.
In Mexico, there will be seven training camps where the teams will stay during the competition in cities such as Guadalajara, Tijuana, Pachuca, Monterrey, Cancún, and, of course, Mexico City.
Here are the countries that will be based in Mexico and the locations of their training camps:
