Kansas City Region Confirms Its Fourth World Cup Base Camp
Four national teams chose Kansas City for 2026 World Cup base camps due to top facilities and local support, making it the largest concentration of camps nationwide.
- Greater Kansas City will serve as a base camp for four national teams ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the City of Lawrence, Kan. hosting the Algeria national team, announced Thursday.
- KC2026, Alan Dietrich and local leaders actively recruited teams while FIFA's post-Club World Cup rule gave priority to teams with games in base-camp markets after the Dec. 5 draw and Jan. 9 deadline.
- Federation delegations toured Kansas City, with the England national team visiting repeatedly and floating the idea of renting Compass Minerals National Performance Center after the draw.
- Kansas City landed three of the non-host Pot 1 teams, representing 33% of those available teams, a haul Alan Dietrich, KC2026 called a major win with potential marquee matchups at Arrowhead Stadium.
- Training centers will provide locker rooms, equipment rooms, a lounge and training room, supporting Algeria national team practices at Rock Chalk Park, Lawrence.
